Transport fares in Ghana will be reduced by 15% on Saturday, May 25, 2025, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU), has announced.

According to the Transport Union, the decision follows a meeting between the Union’s National Executive and the Minister of Transport.

The Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, Abbas Ibrahim Moro confirmed the reduction to the media.

According to him, “We just had a meeting with the Minister of Transport and we have agreed that effective Saturday, May 25, transport fares must be reduced by 15%.”

He said the fare adjustment is a direct response to an 18% drop in fuel prices.

He explained that although the Union typically applies a third of the fuel price decrease, they have opted for a 15% cut this time to ease the burden on passengers.

Moro says “We normally use one-third of the fuel price reduction to adjust fares, but we opted for 15% this time to reflect the fuel price trend. We also expect our counterparts in the spare parts industry to follow suit and reduce their prices,” adding that “We want to place on record that we did not wait for the other components of our cost build-up to reduce before the 15 reduction.”
