And would they be wrong? GPRTU is the drivers union affiliated with TUC and recognized tripartite partner with Government and Employers. Who are the True Drivers Union? Are they recognized by the TUC as a union? These are just a bunch of trouble makers fronting for the opposition to cause confusion.

Dont mind them, empty headed noise makers, they campaigned hiding behind an Association they created in 2016 called Unemployed Graduates Association, maybe that Association had an endorsement and approval from their grandfathers ghost, they even call card bearing Npp members like A plus, Captain Smart, even Kennedy Agyapong who has insulted Mahama and the NDC as a whole, they call them NDC because at a point they decided to be truthful with them, a group of losers who never take responsibility for their actions, blame almost everbody but themselves.

Ghana government OUGHT to take the necessary steps to take over the transport system G.P. R.T. U Now ..although the private sector HAS been doing their quota yet NOT enough and transparency...Even Ghana is above So call TRO TRO IN this MORDEN and EVOLUTION TIME. I KEEP ASKING WHY GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT BUSES CLOSE EARLY AS 5 pm and also Ghanaians do not see and feel their efficiency during RUSH HOUR'S Especially during morning s and leave everything in HANDS of TROTRO Driving criminals CHARGING doubling chargesFROM EVERY point they personally choose to ..WHY WHY should GHANAIANS suffer SEVERELY if it comes TRANSPORTATION.? Instead TO get office and WORK places on time to work for the NATION ,GHANAIANS are been taking for Granted queuing long LINES, OH GHANA transport systeM HAS TO be efficient and Easy .. if not GHANA will not MEET ITs DEVELOPMENT IT HAS IN MIND, RATHER awkwardly and BACKWARD!

Reason. Your children may not be able to go to school because there will be no teachers who shall walk to teach them. Doctors and nurses will not walk to the hospitals to take care of you and your sick family members when they are sick. Fire Fighters will not walk to work and your houses and property will burn down when your house catches fire. Will Market Women walk miles to get foodstuffs to feed you and your family? Car owners want their money so go on and stay home and your vehicles will be taken away from you and you will go broke.

I support the drivers. Did the government buy the cars for the drivers? Its a free market economy and the druvers are in principle free to determine their prices based on market factors. Instead of issuing silly directions to the police, the government was to have alternate public transport that would have rivaled and competed against the unions forcing them to lower their prices.

Fuel prices have gone up everywhere in the world. Russia is no more able to refine more oil because Ukraine has been hitting their fuel refineries. The Middle East is on fire now and fuel prices are going to go up everywhere in the world and Ghana is not an exception. Google to find out how much a gallon of Gasoline costs in the USA, Canada, Western Europe and the other Developed Countries in the World. Find out how much a Gallon of Petrol costs in Nigeria and our Francophone neighbors. Do you understand why people smuggle Petrol to Togo, Benin and Côte d’Ivoire? The prices will continue to go up so learn how to deal with it. Don’t drive SUVs to work and then complain about high fuel prices.

I don't know how a human being can think so stupid and say he will not allow a private vehicle owner to increase fare.
You can only run a parallel transportation system at the so-called price you think is fair.

Actually, there's no such thing as absolute freedom of the market. Every market is somewhat regulated so the drivers union cannot claim absolute independence to set prices. But I believe government action and inaction over all these years has brought us to this point. If only government can be bold and take advantage of the current situation to introduce descent and reasonably priced public road and rail transport services for both inter and intra city mobility, that will serve everyone well and eliminate such instances as confronts us today.

Empty threat. The military and the other force workers will be brought in. You are quick to increase fares and hard to reduce it when the need arises.
