The Ghana Private Roads Transport Union (GPRTU) has hinted that it will Soon communicate an increment in transportation fares.
According to the GPRTU leaders, the new fares is due to the incessant increase in the fuel prices. The union says the continuous rise in the price of petroleum products is draining the finances of commercial vehicle owners.
The price of petroleum pee litre has crossed Ghc11 and diesel sells for over Ghc14 per litre at most filling stations.
In a Citi News interview, Head of Communications at GPRTU, Abbas Moro stressed that members of the union are pushing for an increase in transport fares.
"We have sensitized the general public that whenever the price of fuel go up 10 percent above the existing price, automatically we are supposed to increase fares. There are so many things to look out for including the current economic situation, he said.
He concluded by saying "so for where we are heading towards, we cannot keep sacrificing. Definitely when our leadership meets something positive must come out."
