The proposed fare hike was due to rising fuel costs and other essentials like spare parts.
However, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) advised commuters to disregard the announcement.

In an interview with Yawa News, the Public Relations Officer of the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana, David Agboado, explained that the timing of the fare increase would exacerbate the plight of Ghanaians hence the suspension.

“We the transport operators have sat together and do our own thing. We have come to the understanding that things have been increased…fuel, spare parts and everything is up but this is not the time that we should increase the transport fare that is why we have come together to say we won’t increase it again.

“If you ask me, transport fares will not be going up because we the transporters have understood ourselves,” he stated.

Mr Agboado urged commercial drivers to maintain current fares until a more suitable time for an increase.

“What I will tell my fellow drivers is that they should exercise patience.

It is we that increased.

They have appointed us to do that and we are doing that in their interest.
This one too is in their interest and we are doing it so they should exercise patience. They shouldn’t get angry. The right time will come,” he said.
