The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has disassociated itself from a recent announcement by the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC) regarding a 20% increase in public transport fares, set to take effect on Friday, August 8, 2025.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse on Tuesday, August 5, the Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, Samuel Amoah, expressed surprise at the unilateral decision, stating that the union was neither consulted nor informed prior to the announcement. "Yes, we've seen the release from GRTCC talking about the increasing transport fares by 20% this Friday.
When we saw the communique, we were a bit surprised, because we have no idea about this very increment," Mr.
Amoah said.
