Transport operators in the Republic of Ghana have announced a 19 per cent increment in transport fares effective, Saturday, 29th October, 2022.
This means that passengers would be paying more for transport amid rising food prices, both of which have triggered groanings among Ghanaians on social media platforms.
The new transport fares come after the Transport Unions met with President Akufo-Addo over an earlier intention to increase fares by 40 per cent.
The latest increase, according to the GPRTU, has become necessary according to the union due to the continuous hike in fuel prices.
Currently, a litre of diesel is sold at Gh15.99 while petrol is sold at Gh¢13.10 per litre.
