Transportation costs will be reduced by 10%, according to the Concerned Drivers Association.
The association stated this in a statement on Friday, December 16, 2022.
The group claims to have “noticed the dramatic decrease in fuel costs at the pumps.”
“Despite the reduction, transportation fares have not been reduced,” it stated, adding that “broader consultation with stakeholders is still happening to look into the call for fares reduction.”
Although the current rise in the cost of lubricants and replacement parts makes it nearly difficult to lower prices, travelers are guaranteed a “10% drop in fees from Monday, December 19, 2022,” according to the statement.
It also called on the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to at its upcoming National Delegates’ Congress, “vote for a chairman who stood in for drivers when he was called upon”.
“Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has been a friend to drivers and has been fighting for our interest, hence he deserves to be retained.”
The group cautioned drivers to “drive with care and abide by all the road safety rules and regulations to enable an accident-free Christmas”.
