Ghanaians are to expect an increment of transportation fares from Monday, January 17, 2022, according to a press statement from the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana (C-DAG).
According to the association, the uprise of the fares is as a result of hardships commercial drivers are currently facing which includes the price of fuel at the pumps, the increase in the prices of vehicles and the increment of spare parts and lubricants.[ads2]
“It must be noted that we commiserate with Ghanaians on the current economic hardship but in order to keep us in business, we are left with no other option but to adjust transport fares a little upward which is a 40% increment,” part of the statement dated January 10, 2022 reads.
“It must be noted that we also experience the economic conditions of the country. It has become extremely difficult for us to manage our homes as prices of basic commodities, including sachet water have also seen an upward increment,” they added.[ads3]
C-DAG in the press statement, entreated Ghanaians to welcome the new “transport fares when it takes effect from Monday, January 17, 2022”, and desist from fighting drivers and their conductors when the new fares are implemented. [ads5]
