The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has warned drivers against unilaterally raising transport fares without the union's approval. In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Deputy Industrial and Public Relations Officer Samuel Amoah explained that the GPRTU follows established procedures for fare adjustments and maintains records of all previous changes.
He stated that the union displays the new fares on various platforms such as social media, television, and radio stations to keep passengers informed about the exact amounts they need to pay. Amoah cautioned drivers not to take advantage of the proposed 30% fare increase to charge passengers whatever amount they desire, emphasizing that unauthorized fare hikes will be dealt with swiftly.
The union has made its contact numbers publicly available for passengers to report drivers who violate approved fare increments. The proposed fare hike has not yet taken effect as the unions are awaiting approval from the Ministry of Transport.
