Patrons of VIP JEOUN Transport Service will, from today,will pay more for services provided by the transport company.
The upward adjustment in fares charged by the company was announced in a statement issued by the management of VIP JEOUN Transport on Sunday evening.
“VIP JEOUN Transport announces for the attention of the travelling public new fares effective on Monday 24/10/2022 at 07:00 hours GMT,” the company added in the statement.
This comes on the back of plans by the Ghana Road Transport Union (GPRTU) to increase transport fares today.
Various driver unions had demanded a 40% upward review of the fares they charge following the continuous rise in fuel prices in Ghana.
Currently, diesel and petrol are selling for over GH¢15 and GH¢13 respectively at major fuel pumps; a situation transport operators say is eroding their profit.
The new fares sees commuters from Takoradi to Accra purchase tickets for 80 cedis.
