According to them, the government needs to reconsider its decision and engage stakeholders on the appropriate methods to employ to rather decrease the fuel prices at the fuel pumps. Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Amos Ekow Coffie, they noted that, the current price of the fuel is high and it is crippling their operations, hence passengers are not even willing to pay the fare. He added that as a result, increasing it will add more burden to their woes. “The increment will help us because we will make some money but also it will bring lots of confusion among, we the drivers and the passengers so the government should rather consider reducing the fuel prices,” they noted. The Vice-Chairman of the 37 Ghana Private Road Transport Union, (G.P.R.T.U) Yaw Amoako, stated that the fares are already expensive so increasing it again is not the best decision.
