Upper West GPRTU urges passengers to report unapproved charges

Alhaji Mahama said the union was mindful that fare increases immediately affected passengers, particularly those travelling long distances and had therefore accepted the eight per cent adjustment, while awaiting the government's intervention on fuel prices.

He said the fare from Wa to Kintampo had increased from GH¢150 to GH¢170, citing the case of a passenger who arrived at the station without having budgeted for the additional cost.

The increment has begun to put pressure on commuters in the region, with passengers having to pay more amid concerns over declining passenger numbers and rising operational costs for commercial drivers.
