The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has directed all digital transport operators to immediately halt the collection of Digital Transport Fees.
It said consultations will be held with the Ministry of Transport and other stakeholders to ensure that consensus is reached before full implementation of the Digital Transport Guidelines.
This follows rollout of the Guidelines by online ride-hailing operators like Bolt, Yango and Uber who have passed on the fee to patrons.
A charge of GH¢1 per trip is said to charged as ‘Digital Transport Fee’ or ‘Booking Fee’.
Chief Executive of DVLA Kwasi Agyeman Busia, however, stated in a letter sighted by Plan B News to the digital transport operators to cease the collection as per the “reactions” and “concerns” that have greeted the implementation of the Guidelines.
