GPRTU Upper West Calls on Passengers to Report Overcharging Drivers
GPRTU in the Upper West Region urges commuters to flag drivers demanding fees above the approved rates.
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) in the Upper West Region has appealed to passengers to report any driver who tries to charge more than the recently gazetted fares. The union says the new rates were introduced to bring order to the transport sector and protect commuters from arbitrary price hikes.
Drivers who persist in overcharging could face disciplinary action, the union warned, adding that it aims to restore confidence among road users. The Upper West Region has long struggled with inconsistent fare structures, and the new policy is part of a broader effort to standardise charges across the country.
If the appeal gains traction, transport operators may have to adhere strictly to the approved rates, which could lead to smoother and more predictable travel experiences for commuters.
