Regional News of Friday, 19 December 2025Source: classfmonline.comThe plight of passengers in Accra continues to worsen as some commercial transport operators allegedly impose unauthorised fare increases, especially during festive periods. Commuters say drivers of commercial vehicles are increasingly disregarding approved fares and charging passengers arbitrary amounts, leaving many with little option but to comply. The situation, passengers argue, has become a recurring problem whenever demand for transport rises. Passengers travelling to Nungua, who are expected to pay GH¢5.00, say they are instead being charged higher Accra fares. For low-income earners who rely on public transport daily, the arbitrary hikes are placing an additional financial burden on already stretched household budgets.
