TRANSPORT FARES INCREASED BY 13%, TAKES EFFECT FROM SATURDAY.

-

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced a 13 percent increment in transport fares effective Saturday, June 5, 2021.

The new fares will cover intercity ‘trotro’ vehicles, intercity long-distance vehicles and shared taxis.

The decision, according to the union, is to predominantly accommodate the recent increase in fuel prices.

It says, however, that the government has “assured that it will continue with efforts to prevent a steep rise in input cost.”

“Government has also assured us by a letter from the Ministry of Finance that the suspension of the quarterly income tax payment by owners of ‘trotros’ and taxis will be extended to cover Intercity commuter vehicles to reduce the operational cost. We, therefore, encourage the government to keep to its commitment in this regard.”

The union has therefore directed all its members to comply with the revised fares and post the new fares at their loading terminals.

“We further request members, commuters, and the general public to cooperate for the successful implementation of the new fares.”
