The Ghana Private Road and Transport Operators (GPRTU) and the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council have finally resolved to reduce transport fares by 15.3 percent.
The decision was taken after a series of negotiations with stakeholders.
The reduction takes effect on Monday December 19.
A joint statement by the GPRTU and GRTCC sighted bubble revealed that the reduction will affect shared taxis, trotros, Intercity vehicles and haulage trucks.
Commuters began calling for a reduction in transport fares as the price of petrol and diesel began to record significant drops. GPRTU had earlier indicated that they were in no rush to reduce the fares and wanted to observe if the current reduction in petroleum products was sustainable.
An earlier meeting between the Ministry of Transport and transport operators on December 15, 2022, for a reduction in fares ended in a stalemate.
