GPRTU orders drivers to reverse unauthorised fare increases
[]
News – MyJoyOnline
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has directed drivers who have increased transport fares without approval to immediately reverse the hikes.
“We started receiving complaints from yesterday [Monday] in some areas that some of the drivers are increasing the transport fare.
He said some increases had been reported around the Madina area, prompting the union to deploy personnel to verify the complaints and engage local transport leaders.
He acknowledged, however, that enforcement remains challenging because not all commercial drivers belong to the GPRTU or other recognised transport unions.
The GPRTU says it will continue monitoring transport terminals and routes to identify drivers who breach the agreement and ensure that unauthorised fare increases are reversed.
