Ghanaian Drivers Dispute Official 15% Fare Reduction

Ghanaian Transport Officials Dispute Claims of Unawareness Regarding Fare Reduction Ghana's recent 15% fare reduction for public transport has sparked a debate. Some drivers claim ignorance of the reduction, while officials insist the information was widely disseminated. Alhaji Abbas Ibrahim Moro, Public Relations Officer for GPRTU, stated in a recent UTV Ghana news report, "It’s a lie if any driver says they haven’t heard of the 15% fare reduction." The report showed commuters boarding buses, illustrating the impact of the policy. While the reduction aims to ease the financial burden on commuters, the conflicting statements from drivers highlight the need for clearer communication and enforcement of the new fares. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent of driver compliance and the overall effectiveness of the fare reduction.
