Transport fares to increase

Transportation fares could increase soon, despite stability in fuel prices as the Ghana Private Roads and Transport Union (GPRTU) reviews its fare computations.
The umbrella body of commercial drivers is to rope in the prices of spare parts among others into its fare computations.
According to the Union, drivers over the years have to bear with increase in spare parts as there is no avenue to transfer some of the cost to passengers.
Speaking to the media, the vice chairman for the GPRTU, Robert Saba said something needs to be done urgently to address the situation before commercial drivers are thrown out of job.
