The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and members of the Private Transport Operators have served notice to increase transport fares next week.
A statement they issued on Tuesday, July 12 said: “This is due to the current economic situation,” they said they find themselves in the country.
They also said prices of petroleum and spare parts keep increasing day in and day out, coupled with other nuisance taxes.
“We wish to announce to the general public that there will be an increment in transport in the coming week.”
This is due to the current economic situation we find ourselves in as a country. Prices of petroleum and spare parts keep on increasing day in and day out, coupled with other nuisance taxes.
“We are urging the general public to cooperate with us when they witness an increment on fares as has been discussed with relevant stakeholders.”
“We are also cautioning the government not to start the tollbooth operations again as has been hinted by our inside source.” We will resist any attempt by the government to initiate the tollbooth operation.
“We are calling on all drivers to be vigilant when driving and also manage their stress well to help decrease the fatal accidents on our roads,” the statement said.
