Relief for Ghanaians as GPRTU suspends proposed 30% fare increment

Ghanaians have received temporary relief from a planned increase in transport fares after the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) suspended its proposed 30 percent fare adjustment following engagements with the Ministry of Transport.

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has suspended its planned 30% transport fare increase following a meeting with the Ministry of Transport.

The transport union had pushed for the increment due to rising operational costs, including increases in fuel prices, vehicle maintenance expenses and other inputs required by commercial transport operators to run their businesses.
