The Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana and the Transport Operators of Ghana have jointly declared a rise in transport fares, effective Saturday, April 13, 2024, in response to recent surges in petroleum prices.
In a statement released on Monday, April 8, 2024, they outlined the following adjustments: a 15% increase for short-distance or intracity transport, a 20% increase for intercity or long-journey transport, a 15% hike for taxi services, and an increment from GHC 10.00 to GHC 15.00 fare for short distance taxi hire services.
The decision comes in light of the perceived lack of government intervention in reducing the prices of petrol, vehicle spare parts, and lubricants, despite prevailing economic challenges.
