Transport Fares to Drop by 15% as GPRTU Responds to Fuel Price Decline

Transport fares are set to drop by 15% effective Saturday, May 25, 2025, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced. The decision comes in the wake of an 18% reduction in fuel prices, a development that has prompted the union to offer relief to commuters nationwide.

The fare reduction was confirmed by GPRTU’s Public Relations Officer, Abbas Ibrahim Moro, following a meeting between the Union’s National Executives and the Minister of Transport.

“We just had a meeting with the Minister of Transport and we have agreed that effective Saturday, May 25, transport fares must be reduced by 15%,” Mr Moro disclosed in an interview on Monday.

While the GPRTU typically applies a third of any decrease in fuel prices to adjust transport fares, Mr Moro explained that the Union had opted for a larger-than-usual cut this time to ease the financial burden on passengers.

“We normally use one-third of the fuel price reduction to adjust fares, but we opted for 15% this time to reflect the fuel price trend,” he stated. “We also expect our counterparts in the spare parts industry to follow suit and reduce their prices.”

Mr Moro emphasised that the Union did not wait for other elements in their cost structure to fall before acting on the fare adjustment, signalling a proactive move to align with recent fuel market developments.

He further cautioned that members who fail to implement the revised fares will face disciplinary action. “If your Union has decided, you have no option but to comply,” he warned.

The fare reduction is expected to bring some respite to the commuting public, especially in the face of broader economic pressures.
