General News of Monday, 5 September 2016Source: citifmonline.comMixed reactions over transport fares as fuel prices shoot upFile photoDrivers within the capital have expressed mixed reactions over the possible increase in transport fares following an increase in the prices of petroleum products last Friday. Some of the drivers, who have been speaking to Citi Business News, fear they may be making huge losses if transport fares are not equally adjusted to meet the increased cost of operation. For the first window of the petroleum price deregulation in September, the price of a litre of petrol went up between 4 and 6 percent while a litre of diesel went up between 6 and 8 percent. The Chamber argues that the rate of decrease in previous pricing windows, may not have prompted an increase. However, officials of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union [GPRTU] and GRTCC are yet to comment on the latest development.
