Transport fares
The association of Private Commercial Transport Operators has announced it is increasing transport fares by 30 percent follwing recent increase in fuel prices.
“We, the members of the Private Commercial Transport Operators, wish to inform the commuting public of 30% increase in transport fares with immediate effect. Members are therefore directed to implement the increase from tomorrow, 18th February, 2022, without further delay.
“This has become necessary to save our transport business from collapsing with the frequent upward adjustments in fuel prices. A gallon of fuel which used to sell at the pump for GHC 27 cedis, has now jumped to almost GHC 36 cedis per gallon,” a statement by chairman of the the group Charles Danso said.
Fuel prices have seen steady rise in recent times with a litre of petrol hitting GHC7.9 Thursday.
