The Ghana Road Transport Operators will reduce transport fares by 10% effective Wednesday, May 17, 2023.
According to the association, the reduction is in line with the recent reductions in the prices of petroleum products.
“In line with the Administrative Arrangement on Public Transport Fares, the Road Transport Operators have reduced public transport fares by 10 percent to accommodate for the reductions in the price of petroleum products observed over the period,” the Road Transport Operators said a statement dated Monday, May 15, 2023.
According to the statement, the reduction covers 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.

And the 5% increase will lead to increments of foodstuff by 500%. Extremely pathetic. ***barred word*** calling the government as ***barred word***. its only an insignificant peoples in Ghana are not greedy.the multitude of Ghanaians are greedy and worser than the president they always insult. Infact if all commercial individuals get the chance to rule Ghana from the Jubilee House, Ghana will turn to be like a cemetary. ***barred word*** sooonnn.From Cement sellers to truck drivers,masons, supermarkets etc
Interesting that Ghanaians don't seem to be interested in anything good that happens in the country. We are so fixated on bad things that even when the good happens, we don't see it. If transport fares were to be increased by even 5%, we will see the reactions and insults. Pathetic.
