The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced a 15% reduction in transport fares, effective Saturday, May 25, 2025.
The fare cut comes as a result of an 18% decline in fuel prices across the country.
This decision follows a meeting between the union’s national executives and the Minister of Transport, during which both parties reached a consensus to reflect the recent drop in fuel prices through reduced fares.
Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, Abbas Ibrahim Muru, confirmed the development in an interview with 3News.
He indicated that the reduction is aimed at providing relief to commuters in light of improved fuel market conditions.
The GPRTU says it expects all member drivers and transport operators to comply with the directive starting from the stated date.
The Ministry of Transport is also expected to work with the union to ensure effective monitoring and enforcement across all transport terminals nationwide.
The move has been welcomed by many commuters who have long called for adjustments in fares in line with fluctuating fuel prices.
