GPRTU to increase fares by 60%
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has reaffirmed its decision to implement a 60% increase in transport fares in 2024, coinciding with the commencement of the Emission Levy Bill in January 2024.
The recently passed Emissions Levy Bill by Parliament imposes an annual fee of 100 cedis on all owners of petrol and diesel cars, starting from January 2024.
The government aims to promote the use of environmentally friendly energy sources for vehicle power through this tax, aligning with its commitment to climate-positive actions and carbon offset initiatives.
In response to these developments, the GPRTU has petitioned the Speaker of Parliament, urging a reconsideration of the Emission Levy Bill.
