Transport Minister Joseph Bukari Nikpe has said transport fares will neither be increased or reduced for now despite recent reductions in fuel prices.
His comment comes following public calls for a reduction in transport fares, particularly after previous threats by transport unions to increase dares during fuel hikes.
Speaking on the subject, Mr. Nikpe stated that the Ministry is in constant interaction with operators and transport unions, adding that any fare adjustments are determined using a proven formula.
“I am in constant touch with the unions and transport operators. We have a formula in which we use to either increase or reduce prices, and we have not gotten there yet,” he said.
The Minister emphasised the importance of collaboration with stakeholders to maintain stability in the sector, reassuring commuters that prices will hold steady for now.
“We are in good touch. We are working together, and Ghanaians should be rest assured that prices will be kept for some time before any of the adjustments will be made,” Mr. Nikpe added.
The Ministry’s stance aims to balance commuter relief with the operational sustainability of transport operators, as discussions on possible fare reviews continue.
