GPRTU enforces vehicle ID tags to stop overcharging in Accra

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) is set to meet with its Welfare Executives in the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday, January 20, to discuss the reintroduction of identification tags for commercial vehicles.

This move is part of efforts to address unauthorized fare increases and follows an announcement by the Ministry of Transport that transport unions had agreed to bring back vehicle identification tags as a regulatory measure.

According to the Deputy Industrial and Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, Samuel Amoah, the meeting will focus on finalizing the framework for rolling out the identification system, with particular attention on Greater Accra, where fare-related complaints are most frequent.

Amoah explained that the regional leadership will work with Welfare Executives to agree on the design and visibility of the tags to ensure they are easily recognizable by passengers.

The union is also expected to put in place a dedicated task force to monitor compliance and enforce approved fare structures across commercial transport routes.
