The new prices will affect shared taxis, intra-city (tro-tro), intercity (long distance) and haulage transports.

The recent economic crisis in Ghana resulted in multiple increments in fuel products causing a hike in transport fares.

However, this will be the second announcement of reduction in transport fares by the Road Transport Operators following recent reductions in fuel prices.

The increment in fuel prices and transport fares led to a corresponding increment in the prices of goods and services compounding the hardship on Ghanaians.
