GPRTU promises transport fares reduction
The Industrial Relations Officer of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), Abass Imoro, has asked commuters to expect some price reductions soon.
According to him, the GPRTU is currently holding discussions with the Ministry of Transport regarding transport fares.
He noted that the negotiations are nearing conclusion, with a final meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
“It was a marathon meeting. The Transport Ministry is proposing a certain percentage, and the transport operators are also proposing their own. Eventually, we met halfway. We’re going back, and tomorrow we’ll meet again to finalize the decision,” he was quoted as saying by citinewsroom.com.
In light of the recent appreciation of the cedi and the continued decline in fuel prices, consumers of public transport have called for a reduction in fares.
“The meeting is about reducing fares, so the public should rest assured, we’ll give them a smile-worthy reduction,” Imoro assured.
