GPRTU to increase fares on Monday October 24.
Mr Abbas Imoro, The Industrial Relations Officer for The Ghana Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced the increment of transport fares which will be effective from Monday, October 24. He disclosed this in a conversation with Accra-Based Citi FM on Friday.
According to Abass imoro, the increment became necessary due to the consistent increments in the prices of petroleum products.
In his words “Normally, if we are able to conclude, we will come out on Monday with a percentage of increment. We will give the passengers a few days to adjust themselves to the new prices.”
He continued:
“We’ve been very considerate. This would have been the third or fourth adjustment from May.We are all in this country and have seen frequent increments in fuel prices. But we have sacrificed to contain it. But we can no longer bear the cost.”
“So we urge passengers to bear with us.”
