Commuters pay over three times transport fare amid vehicle shortage on Nungua-Accra route

According to him, this practice had made it increasingly difficult for station officials to control transport activities, as passengers often ignored the directives of station masters and opt to board vehicles outside the designated loading points, creating an opportunity for some private drivers to charge unapproved fares.

Nii Akorsey Bortey II, Chairman of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) at Nungua, reacting to the development, said the station authorities were unaware that some passengers were being exploited by private drivers charging excessive fares.

One of the private drivers told the GNA that passengers were not compelled to use his services and were free to accept his fare or wait for commercial vehicles.
