Management of Metro Mass Transit Limited has announced it will review its transport fares due to the current increase in fuel prices.
In an interview with JoyNews, the Corporate Affairs Manager of Metro Mass Limited, George Krobea Asante said, the popular transit service can no longer contain the continuous increase in fuel prices.
According to Mr Asante, it has not changed its fares throughout the several increments in fuel prices.
Mr Asante Krobea said the intended action will aid the company to stay afloat.
“For instance, for Metro Mass, since these fuel prices started changing, we have not reviewed our fares”.
We are now considering increasing our fares a bit so that we can keep the company running, other than that, there is no way we will be able to keep the company on its feet, he added.
“Within this year alone, prices of fuel or petroleum products have changed for not less than five times if I am not wrong and we have not reviewed our fares, we still take the old fares,” he said.
Already, some leading OMCs have adjusted the prices of petroleum products at their pumps.
Petrol and diesel are currently selling at about ¢18 and ¢23 per litre.
