The Private Transport Operators Association of Ghana has announced a 30% increase in fares beginning on Tuesday, September 21, 2022, after consulting with the Ghana Private Road and Transport Union (GPRTU) of the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
According to the Association, the current economic climate has made the increase unavoidable.
"Petroleum and spare part prices continue to rise daily, along with other annoyance fees. According to a statement from the Association, "We are unable to make enough money to care for our families and pay off our loans due to the increase in petroleum products, spare parts, and the inadequate management of the economy by the government."
The statement continued, "Therefore, we have no choice but to likewise increase our fares. Electricity tariff, water tariff, prices of spare parts, prices of food, and prices of pure water have all increased."
