Former President John Dramani Mahama has lauded the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) and other transport unions for reducing transport fares in response to recent gains by the Ghanaian cedi and falling fuel prices.

The fare reduction, which took effect on Saturday, May 24, 2025, was reached in agreement with the Ministry of Transport.

The move was aimed at easing the cost of living for Ghanaians as the economy shows signs of gradual recovery.

Despite the nationwide directive, some drivers have refused to implement the 15% fare reduction.

The Ghana Online Drivers Union, in particular, stated that its members are not part of the agreement and will not comply with the adjustment.

Speaking during his Thank You Tour at the College of Health in Kintampo in the Bono East Region on Thursday, May 29, Mr. Mahama praised the unions for their timely intervention.

President Mahama noted, “Our currency, the cedi, is stabilising, inflation is gradually declining, investors’ confidence in our economy is returning.”

“Ghanaians are beginning to feel a slow but steady relief when they go to the market… I want to take this opportunity to thank the GPRTU and the various drivers’ unions for reducing transport fares to bring relief to Ghanaians from the hardships they were facing,” he stated
