Fares for public transport will be reduced by 10% beginning today, Wednesday, May 17, 2023.
Road transport firms attributed the decrease to regular marginal price decreases in gasoline.
The discount applies to shared taxis, intra-city (trotro), inter-city (long distance), and haulage services.
The road transport operators announced the reduction in a statement, noting that “in accordance with the administrative arrangement on public transport fares, the road transport operators have reduced public transport fares by 10% to accommodate for the decrease in the price of petroleum products observed over the period.”

Road transport operators entreated Commercial Transport Operators to comply with the new fares and post same at their loading terminals.
“We further request all operators, commuters and the general public to kindly cooperate for the successful implementation of the new fares”, the Road transport operators entreated.
Prices of petroleum products have seen a marginal decline in the second pricing window of May 2023 as a result of the decrease in the price of crude on the international market and relative stability to the Ghana cedi.
