This infrastructure development has not only improved connectivity within the country but has also facilitated the growth of the Buses market by creating a conducive environment for bus operators to expand their services. In conclusion, the Buses market in Burkina Faso is witnessing significant growth and development due to increasing urbanization, rising population, improving infrastructure, and changing customer preferences.
