Public transport fares across Ghana will rise by 20% effective Friday, August 8, 2025, according to a statement issued by the Road Transport Operators.<\/p>\n

The adjustment, made in line with the Administrative Arrangement on Public Transport Fares, will affect shared taxis, intra-city services (trotro), intercity (long-distance), and haulage transport.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council explained that the decision was influenced by three key factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The failure of prices of spare parts, goods, and services to respond to the 15% fare reduction implemented on May 21, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n
      \n
    1. \n

      The recent introduction of a GH\u00a21.00 per litre fuel levy which has led to an estimated 8% increase in fuel prices.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Escalating vehicle maintenance costs due to deteriorating road conditions across the country.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      All transport operators have been instructed to comply with the new fares and ensure they are visibly displayed at loading terminals.<\/p>\n

      The Operators also called on drivers, passengers, and the general public to cooperate for the smooth rollout of the revised fares.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
