TRANSPORT OPERATORS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA
30% FARE INCREMENT STARTING 21/09/2022
In consultation with our mother body the GPRTU OF TUC, we wish to announce to the general public that there will be a 30% increment on fares starting Tuesday 21, September 2022.
This is due to the current economic situation we find ourselves in as a country.
Prices of petroleum and spare parts keep increasing day in and out coupled with other nuisance taxes.
Due to the increment in fuel products, spare parts and the poor management of the economy of the government, we are unable to make enough money to cater for our families and pay off our loans.
Electricity tariffs, water tariffs, Prices of spare parts, prices of food and Pure water prices have all increased, hence we have no option but to also increase our fares.
As stated earlier we are urging the general public to cooperate with us on our new fares coming Tuesday, 21st September 2022.
We are cautioning our members not to charge more than the agreed 30%.
Long live Ghana
