We're Reluctant To Increase Transport Fares Due To Current Hardship, But . . .  - GPRTU

Head of Communication at the Ghana Private Roads Transport Union (GPRTU), Abass Ibrahim Moro says the union has been reluctant to increase transport fares due to the already hardship in the country.
 
But he said they have no option now than to adjust the fares because they have "sacrificed" a lot for the state.
 
According to Mr Moro, soon the union will communicate to the public new transportation fares following the incessant increase in fuel prices.
 
The union says the continuous rise in the price of petroleum products is draining the finances of commercial vehicle owners.
 
“And Government is not doing anything to help us,” he told NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie'.
 
The price of petrol per litre has crossed GH¢11 and diesel sells for over GH¢14 per litre at most pumps.
