Estimated reading time: 2 minutes The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has consented to an 8% adjustment in transport fares, commencing Saturday, September 26, 2026. Samuel Amoah, Deputy Industrial and Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, stated that the revised fares were established through consultations between transport operators and the Ministry of Transport. During an appearance on the Channel One Newsroom on Tuesday, September 22, Mr Amoah explained that the union had initially requested a 30% increase but ultimately accepted 8% following extensive deliberations with the ministry. He noted that transport operators had been requesting an increase of no less than 25% to account for escalating operational expenses. According to his remarks, the concluded agreement was shaped by governmental assurances that measures were being implemented to achieve additional fuel price reductions during the subsequent pricing cycle. "We have ultimately agreed to an 8% increase in transport fares, which will commence on Saturday, the 26th of this month," he stated. Mr Amoah indicated that the union would engage the Ministry of Transport again should the anticipated fuel price reductions fail to occur. "This represents a commitment made to us, and should it not be fulfilled, we will return to the ministry to communicate that the assurance provided has not materialized. Subsequently, we will determine the appropriate course of action for our operations," he concluded.
