“To ensure that the eventual outcome is fair and in the best interest of both operators and the travelling public, the Unions disclosed that a joint team comprising representatives of the Ministry of Transport, the GPRTU and the GRTCC be formed to review all cost inputs associated with the fare determination process,” he said.

In a joint press release issued by the leadership of both bodies, the Unions said they were updating the public, passengers, drivers, station masters and transport owners on the status of ongoing engagements with the Ministry regarding the proposed fare review, stressing that the process remained at a consultative stage.

The Unions further appealed to all drivers, station masters, transport owners and the travelling public to remain calm, orderly and cooperative as the consultative process run its full course and cautioned against any unilateral fare adjustments ahead of an official determination.
