The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has warned that transport fares may increase due to rising fuel prices.
According to the Industrial Relations Officer of GPRTU, Abass Imoro, transport operators were feeling the pinch from increasing operational costs.
“We work for profit, and prices have been stagnant for a while. Some operators even wanted to hike prices, but we stopped them. This shows they’re looking for a fare adjustment,” Imoro said.
Fuel prices are expected to rise in the next pricing window, with petrol increasing to GH¢11.57 per litre, diesel to GH¢14.35 per litre, and LPG to GH¢10.67 per kilogramme.
