The Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), Alhaji Abbas Ibrahim Moro, has appealed to commuters not to assault commercial drivers who fail to comply with the newly announced 15% reduction in transport fares.

This plea comes after the Union confirmed that transport fares will drop by 15% starting Saturday, May 25, 2025, following a consensus reached during a meeting between the GPRTU National Executive and officials from the Ministry of Transport. "We met with the Transport Ministry today, and after a marathon meeting, we finally decided to reduce transport fares by 15 percent, effective coming Saturday," Alhaji Moro said in an upcoming interview with Alfred Ocansey on Ghana Tonight.

While emphasizing that the directive is binding, he cautioned drivers against flouting the decision, noting that passengers have the right to report non-compliant drivers. "Each time we increase lorry fares, everyone complies.

So if there is a reduction, the same must apply.
