The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) of TUC has refuted media reports suggesting that it plans to increase transport fares in the next fuel pricing window.
In a statement issued on October 8, 2025, the Union clarified that its earlier appeal to the government was aimed solely at ensuring stability in fuel prices, not announcing a fare adjustment.
According to the statement, the GPRTU acknowledged that any fare increment has widespread effects on the economy and emphasized that it has no immediate plans to raise fares.
“We wish to appeal to the government for stability in fuel prices in this last quarter of the year. We also call on the general public to remain calm and for drivers and commuters to maintain existing fares,” the statement read.
The GPRTU reiterated its commitment to serving both the government and the people of Ghana, assuring stakeholders that any future decisions regarding transport fares would be communicated transparently.
