In a video circulating on social media, the 20-year-old stated that she rarely uses trotro buses.
When asked why she did not commute using them, her response drew widespread attention and sparked debate among Ghanaians.
According to her, she did not feel comfortable using trotros, describing the singular experience as 'scary'.
Charisa emphasised that she had only boarded a trotro once in her entire life.
Supporting her claim, a voice off-camera, believed to be her sister, agreed, saying trotros were frightening.
“I don’t pick trotro because it’s scary,” the young lady said. “I’ve only taken a trotro once in my life, and I’m 20.”
At the time of filing this report, YEN.com.gh had not been able to verify the authenticity of her claim.

The video has drawn strong reactions from many Ghanaians on social media. For most, Charisa’s statement was difficult to believe.
Given the popularity and affordability of trotro transport, many netizens argued that it was nearly impossible for someone raised in Ghana to have used it only once.
Trotros are a preferred means of transportation for many because they are cheap, readily available, and operate on nearly all routes without requiring prior booking.
As such, Charisa's claim came off as unbelievable and, to some, even elitist. YEN.com.gh has compiled some of the reactions are below.
