Transport fares have been reduced by 10% effective Saturday August 1, 2020.
This was after a meeting between transport operators and the Ministry of Transport.
On July 7, 2020 government approved a 15% hike in transport fares to cushion transport operators against the impact of the social distancing directive on their businesses.
However the easing of covid-19 restrictions on the transport sector ignited calls for a reduction in the fares.
Vice chairman of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union Robert Sarbah told Citi Business News the earlier 15% increment is no longer applicable.
