The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has denied reports of an increment in transport fares.
The Union asked Ghanaians to ignore such news and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
Samuel Amoah, Deputy National Public Relations Officer for GPRTU, described the news as false.
He explained that though fuel prices have recently seen some upward adjustments, transport fares remain the same until such a decision is reached and communicated to the public.
He entreated the public to disregard such information circulating in both traditional and
social media.
Speaking on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he said the GPRTU is the mother body that can announce an increment in transport fares, hence drivers who are engaging in such acts should desist from doing that.
He said before an increment, the GPRTU will deploy a committee to go and conduct market surveillance to examine all the factors or components we work with in reaching an agreement to increase fares.
According to him, if it becomes necessary for them to introduce fares, they will communicate the same with Gbanaians.
