The National Secretariat for Online Drivers has threatened to charge passengers based on their discretion rather than the fee given by the apps.
Drivers say the move has become necessary as the charges allocated by the app managers are inadequate to meet the rising cost of fuel.
The online drivers have in the past called on their managers to adjust prices upward to cushion them, but to no avail.
President of the National Secretariat for Online Drivers, Francis Tenge said drivers are incurring losses at the current rate hence the ‘operation charge your fare”.
He said government should intervene and help regulate the pricing in their space as done with the GPRTU and other driver unions.
The price of diesel has shot up to GH¢23.49 per litre.
Petrol is selling at GH¢17.99 per litre, while Kerosene is selling at GH¢14.70.
The new prices took effect on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.
