The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced that it is holding off on plans to increase transport fares following government’s intervention to reduce fuel prices.
Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Union, Samuel Amoah, said the decision was taken in response to assurances by President John Dramani Mahama that measures have been put in place to ease fuel costs.
Speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, he noted that transport operators will maintain current fares while monitoring developments in the fuel pricing regime.
“The president has assured that fuel prices will reduce, so we have rescinded our decision to increase transport fares and will hold on,” he said.
Government recently announced that it will absorb GH¢2.00 per litre on diesel and GH¢0.36 per litre on petrol for one month, effective April 16, 2026, as part of efforts to cushion consumers against rising global petroleum prices.
