Transport fares to go up by 30% soon

Ghanaian commercial transport operators have announced a statewide 30% rise in transportation rates, which will take effect on Monday, January 22.

The operators used the sharp rises in lubricant, spare part, and DVLA service charge prices as justification for their choice.

The operators emphasized in a formal statement how difficult it is for them to continue operating given the rising costs in the public transportation industry.

“The continuous surge in lubricant prices, driven by fluctuations in global oil markets, has resulted in a considerable burden on drivers who rely heavily on oil to keep our vehicles running efficiently,” the drivers said in a statement.

Furthermore, they emphasized how their ability to keep their cars in excellent condition has been severely impeded by the rising costs of spare parts, particularly for maintenance and repairs.

The current scenario has resulted in reduced operating effectiveness and longer durations of vehicle unavailability, which has an adverse impact on drivers and the wider population that commutes.

The Transport Operators Association acknowledged the negative effects of these issues and disclosed that they have held in-depth discussions with a range of stakeholders, including pertinent governmental authorities and other transport associations.
