The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced a 15% reduction in transport fares, effective Saturday, May 25, 2025. This decision follows a meeting between the Union’s National Executive and the Minister of Transport.
The fare adjustment is a direct response to an 18% drop in fuel prices. Although the Union typically applies a third of the fuel price decrease, they have opted for a 15% cut this time to ease the burden on passengers.
The GPRTU has emphasized that all members are expected to comply with the new fare structure. Members who refuse to implement the fare cut will face consequences.
This fare reduction is anticipated to bring relief to commuters nationwide, aligning with recent macroeconomic improvements, including the sustained appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against the US dollar.
