Lorry fares to be reduced by 15.3%

The price of transportation will be reduced by 15.3 percent, according to road transport operators.

According to the company, the cut will go into effect on Monday, December 19, 2022.

The decision was made as a result of the drop in petroleum product costs, according to the transport operators.

This was disclosed in a news statement sent to Ghanatodayonline.com on Friday, December 16, 2022 and signed by Mr. Godfred Abulbire, General Secretary of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union, and Mr. Emmanuel Ohene Yeboah, General Secretary of the Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council.

On Friday, December 16, 2022, the next pricing window will likely see diesel offered at GH15 per litre while gasoline prices are anticipated to continue to decline.

The ministry added that it is talking with transportation companies to lower the prices by a margin that will benefit both travelers and transportation companies.

Hold your breath and expect some decrease soon, Ghanaians, according to Godfred Abulbire, General Secretary of the Ghana Private Road and Transport Union (GPRTU).

“Fares will be cut after gasoline costs have decreased. The decrease is plain to see. No one has a stake in the fare increase.

Today’s discussion focused on finding a margin of decrease that would satisfy both the general public and operators.

We will thus reach a decision on the exact margin on Monday, Mr. Abulbire promised.
