@gyaegyimiiNO @cac_tus90 @MantseBi_Ago You see theory are the bases for policies and realities. We can only challenge the theory and make it better. But you don’t rule it out entirely and say he is wrong. But can be built upon. That is ma point.

@gyaegyimiiNO @cac_tus90 @MantseBi_Ago Yes and the third findings is where the creator is emphasising or premising is argument on. So he is right 👍. To futher your understanding you can trade the referenced article as well

@Kofi_Bhiito @fawogyimiiko_ And that was an example he was making to back the research that has been done that ppl are likely to commute long distances when the travel time is less to purchase items that will save them huge monies.

@gyaegyimiiNO @cac_tus90 @MantseBi_Ago Nope in research until a study within that context is made. All other things being equal it’s applicable. Like I said until there is one for Ghana. Then he has the right to use foreign research papers to make his argument within a Ghanaian context. That doesn’t mean he is wrong.

@gyaegyimiiNO @cac_tus90 @MantseBi_Ago Context I will come to that. The point you guys are making is his claims are wrong. But generally he is right. Would a research in west Africa or Ghana produce different results. Perhaps until then you don’t say his reasoning and use of that research paper to make point is wrong

@Kofi_Bhiito @fawogyimiiko_ Exactly that is the problem with Ghana. The creator did the research but you’ve read and you are criticising him wrongly. It’s basically backing his claims. So every thing he said is correct

@Kobinalutterodt But what you ppl forget is. Increased road accessibility increases productivity. And increased in productivity leads to increased gdp per capital. This means individuals are likely to have more disposable income to spend n can afford cars.

@Tamalejayz And this side that you are arguing from is wrong. Building roads increase productivity and gpd per capital increase. Hence ppl will have more disposable income to spend n can buy cars.

@agyeitah It’s funny how most ppl don’t research before they come to criticise.

I watched this yesterday and spent some time reading more about induced demand. I thought he did an incredible job explaining the concept. What surprises me is that everyone seems fixated on the idea that road expansion means people will immediately buy more private cars. That is only one possible mechanism, and in a country like Ghana it may not even be the biggest one. The broader idea is that road usage increases. People make more trips, development expands, more people move to places like Kasoa because commuting becomes easier, and public transport operators (trotros and buses) put more vehicles on the road to meet the increased demand. The carpooling example wasn’t the strongest, but the overall phenomenon has been observed in cities like Jakarta, Lagos, Bangalore, and Mexico City. Expanding roads by itself often does not solve congestion in the long run. That doesn’t mean roads should never be expanded. It means road expansion alone is rarely enough. The better long-term solution is to pair it with reliable public transport. It doesn’t have to be rail. A fast, dependable, affordable bus system that connects people to where they actually want to go can move far more people with fewer vehicles on the road. I thought it was a great video because it encouraged us to think beyond the obvious solution. Sometimes the intuitive answer isn’t the one that works best over the long term.
