Road transport operators have postponed a proposed 30 per cent increase in transport fares as they await the results of the upcoming fuel pricing window anticipated on Friday.
“Yesterday, my leadership informed us that when they met, government asked us to hold on because they are working on measures to ensure fuel prices come down,” he said.
However, Mr. Amoah noted that the union’s own evaluation indicates that fuel prices may rise again during the next pricing window.
“Our investigations have proved to us that even in the next pricing window, fuel prices are likely to go up again.
According to him, the increasing fuel costs have drastically diminished drivers’ earnings and made it increasingly challenging for many transport operators to maintain profitability.
