The new transport fares lists are out, and they have many people’s tongues wagging in anticipation of what they will have to pay.
Drivers’ organizations in Ghana, notably the Concerned Drivers Association and the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), have all said that transportation costs would be raised beginning today, Saturday, October 29, 2022.
While the GPRTU declared a 19% rise in transportation rates, the Concerned Drivers Association announced a 30% increase.
According to the unions, the hike was forced by growing gasoline costs, the devaluation of the Ghana Cedi, and the increased cost of leaving the nation.
