Road Transport Operators have officially announced a 15% reduction in public transport fares, set to take effect on Saturday, May 24, 2025.

In a joint statement signed by the General Secretaries of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC), the operators confirmed that the fare cut will apply across multiple transport services.

These include shared taxis, intra-city minibuses (commonly known as tro-tros), long-distance inter-city buses, and haulage vehicles.

The statement explained that the decision aligns with the Administrative Arrangement on Public Transport Fares, which ties fare adjustments to fluctuations in fuel prices. With petroleum product prices dropping significantly in recent weeks, the fare reduction aims to ease the financial burden on commuters.

“In line with the Administrative Arrangement on Public Transport Fares, the Road Transport Operators have reduced public transport fares by 15% to accommodate the reductions in the price of petroleum products observed over the period,” the statement read.

The transport unions urged all drivers and operators to strictly adhere to the revised fares and called on the public to cooperate to ensure smooth implementation.
THE NEW FARES TAKE EFFECT FROM SATURDAY, 24TH MAY, 2025.

The fares cover the following types of Road Transport Operations:

SHARED TAXIS

INTRA-CITY (TRO-TRO)

INTER-CITY (LONG DISTANCE)

HAULAGE

"We kindly request all Commercial Transport Operators to comply with the new fares and post same at their loading terminals. We further request all Operators, Commuters, and the General Public to cooperate for the successful implementation of the new fares.”
