VIP JEOUN Transport has announced a new fare increase set to begin on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, affecting thousands of Ghanaians who use the service regularly.
This adjustment, detailed in a company press release, marks the first fare revision since April 2024. The company affirmed its alignment with the TRANSPORT GHANA policy led by the National Road Safety Authority.
New ticket prices include GHC 150 for travel from Accra to Kumasi on an Executive Coach, GHC 200 for routes to Sunyani and Techiman, and GHC 360, GHC 410, and GHC 430 for Tamale, Bolgatanga, and Bawku, respectively. Fares for Standard Tour routes have also gone up, with Accra to Cape Coast now at GHC 110 and Accra to Wa at GHC 315.
The fare hikes have drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some, like frequent traveler Kwame Asiedu, criticized the decision due to Ghana’s high cost of living, others like student Abena Mensah believe the fare increase could bring better travel experiences.
Transport specialists cite inflation, rising fuel prices, and the high cost of vehicle upkeep as likely contributors to the decision. Several commuters have appealed to the government for assistance in cushioning the impact.
With the new prices in place, passengers are adjusting their travel plans, hoping that VIP JEOUN delivers on its commitment to safer and more reliable transportation.
