TRANSPORT FARES INCREMENT .<\/p>\n
The Transport Operators Association Of Ghana wishes to announce to the general public there will a 15% increment of transport fares coming monday 22\/07\/2024.<\/p>\n
This has become necessary due to the recent surge in petroleum and spare parts prices coupled with economic hardship.<\/p>\n
Some oil marketing companies (OMCs) have begun upwardly adjusting their prices at the pumps following the commencement of July\u2019s second pricing window.<\/p>\n
One of the leading oil marketing companies, Shell for instance, which previously sold a litre of petrol at GH\u023c14.80 is now selling at GH\u023c15.10 while a litre of diesel previously selling at GH\u00a214.92 is now selling at GH\u023c15.25.<\/p>\n
Also, the prevailing economic difficulties and other factors are worsening the living condition of transport owners and drivers.<\/p>\n
We are therefore urging all Ghanaians to take note of the increment and cooperate with transport operators.<\/p>\n
Thank You.<\/p>\n
