Ghana Govt ban Trotro Transport in the cities. Do not be afraid of GPRTU, who were empowered by PNDC in the 80s.The presence of Trotros in the cities will make it impossible for any private entity to operate Mass Commercial public transport system. The global energy crisis has shown that every nation needs a modern mass transport system in its cities.

I agree with you. Trotros should be allowed on some specific roads. We need a well structured public transport.

I agree with you totally, Kwaku Tee. If government does not boldly call the bluff of GPRTU and fearlessly confront the cartel, but continue to timorously treat them with kid gloves, they can never establish the proper mass public bus transport system that can solve the problem the people are suffering. I call onthe President and Honourable Nikpe to be audacious and daring. The people should not the held to ransom by GPRTU.

Are that stupid. Fuel came down drastically yet the commercial drivers refused to reduce fares. Less than a month of increment, they are shouting like dogs.

We recognize the challenges you face. However, when fuel prices and the dollar were falling, the explanation was that costs go beyond fuel. As you consider a 20% fare increase, we kindly ask for consistency in pricing. Ultimately, Jehovah will judge fairly those using the right or wrong scale.

Whenever fuel prices go down, these drivers never reduce transport fares. They claim cost of maintenance is still high. The fact of the matter is Mahama now has his hands tied behind him. Every sector of the economy seems to be crashing. It appears things are being done on adhoc basis. No concrete policies.

Well, we have not seen the original statement. But if what is presented here is what it says, it sounds more political than business. Are they concerned about their business or the strugling of the ordinary Ghanaian? They should tell us at what time was the Ghanaian not strugling. If they really care about the Ghanaian, they would ensure transport fares are reduced when fuel prices go down and some taxes are removed. They should tell us by what percentage points fuel has increased this year, and why they want to increase fares by 20%.

A modern mass transport system could have handled this price increase bcoz they are companies.Trotros cannot handle this problem they will pass it on to passengers. Any sensible govt will ban Trotros in all our cities to allow for companies to take over with mass commercial public transport buses.

All this kind of people are hypocrite. Is that how to build a country upon all the good things that this NDC administration is doing the evil ones are not appreciated. Every one's know what's going on with the fuel ⛽ Are we really love this our country Ghana. Some of of us are very ungrateful. For the eight 8⃣ years of NPP administration we're the same people crying for help things where very hard corruption upon corruption God so good we were rescued by the NDC yet some of the evils Ghanaians wanted to take us back. Never and Never again for NPP.

When you bring home a Cob from the forest to rear and it becomes a a Big Lion it will eat your children and yourself. P/NDC made GPRTU too powerful and now they're tormenting everybody including NDC & NPP. If NDC wants fairness they shd ban Trotro to reduce the powers of GPRTU, it will make transport industry attractive to private investors to bring in mass transport. Check the good job VIP is doing in long distance trips.Companies operating big buses can easily handle fluctuations in fuel prices.

Flooding the roads with government buses will end the threats They were charging between Ghc 7.00 and Ghc7.50 when fuel was Ghc19.00& Ghc 23.00. It came down to Ghc10.00 &Ghc12.00 and they charge Ghc8.00. These charges were and are from Circle to Kasoa and the vice versa. Up to date they still overcharge commuters. Few months ago when government set in with some few buse sto stop the overcharging they came out wailing and begging people to bord their vehicles for free. They know what is going on. Instead of bearing with the Government they cheered it is now left with them to throw threats. Bad for them.

GPRRU should be worried seeing the many new bus stops all over the place. They should know government buses will soon flood the streets and will know where power lies. Away with their empty threats.
