Transportation expert Transnational Automotive Group (OTCBB: TAMG) recently made news when it announced that its inter-city bus division, LeCar Cameroon, had signed an agreement with the National Syndicate of Cameroon Journalists (SNJC) to improve the reporters’ access to “efficient, cost-effective transport” by offering reduced bus fares to journalists traveling in Cameroon’s sprawling urban centers.According to a statement released by the company, “qualifying journalists” will receive a 16.7 percent reduction in their fare.
“We are honored to be chosen as the official carrier for SNJC from among the many inter-urban options available,” Cyrille Tollo, general manager of LeCar Cameroon, said in the release. “Journalists need to travel wildly and have ready, affordable access to people and places where news is happening; we are pleased to assist media workers in this important effort.”
This isn’t the first time that Transnational Automotive has extended a hand in the Cameroon area; the company has provided transportation services to areas like Yaounde, Douala, and other Cameroon areas that have been without any meaningful modern transportation in the past. The company is also considering expanding its operations into additional markets – chiefly Ethiopia and Nigeria – as the years progress.
Dr. Ralph Thomson, Transnational Automotive’s chairman and CEO, was extremely proud of the steps his company was taking to improve the journalist’s plight.
“Freedom of mobility is tightly linked with freedom of information in a nation’s economic development and social maturation,” Thomson said. “Accordingly, LeCar seeks to boost the flow of information throughout Cameroon – thereby accelerating these essential factors.”
