The Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council (GRTCC) has suspended a proposed 20% upward adjustment in public transport fares, following a crucial meeting with the Ministry of Transport on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

The suspension comes in response to widespread public backlash and concerns over the lack of broader stakeholder engagement prior to the announcement of the fare increase.

In the interim, all commercial transport operators have been directed to continue enforcing the 15% reduction in fares, which has been in effect since May 24, 2025.

The GRTCC has assured the public that any future fare adjustments will be preceded by extensive stakeholder consultations.
