 KMA Officials Reportedly Begin Mass Arrests Of Drivers Who Refuse To Reduce Trotro Fares 


Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has embarked on an enforcement exercise as Officials clamp down on commercial drivers who are flouting a directive to reduce transport fares.


This comes following the Ghana Private Road Transport Union’s (GPRTU) nationwide directives to trotro drivers to reduce fares upto 15%, and it officially took effect on Saturday, 24th May 2025.


The fare adjustment also came up after a significant price drop of fuel and a steady appreciation of the cedi against the US dollar, conditions that were expected to ease the economic strain on passengers.


However, compliance with the directive became an issue as drivers and commuters started to clash over it.


Ghbase News previously reported that most drivers in Accra and other cities had ignored the new directive and continued to charge the old fares.


As a result, only a handful of drivers had revised their fares in line with the GPRTU’s instructions.


In response to the compliance development, KMA officials have deployed teams to monitor key transport hubs across the city, identifying and penalising drivers who refuse to comply. 


The Assembly emphasized its commitment to ensuring passengers are not short-changed, urging the public to report instances of overcharging.


This ongoing crackdown is expected to bring drivers in line and reinforce accountability within the public transport system.
