Overcharge passengers and face sanctions, GPRTU warns drivers

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on October 1, GPRTU Deputy Public Relations Officer Samuel Amoah said the union is intensifying sensitisation this week to ensure full compliance with the 8% fare increase.

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has warned its members against charging above the newly approved transport fares, saying offenders risk fines or even jail time.

The union has in recent times expressed concern about some operators ignoring approved rates, a practice that often sparks public complaints and disputes at lorry stations.
