The Accra Metropolitan Area Taskforce has arrested some drivers around the Kingsway-Accra CBD area for illegal fare hikes. The drivers are accused of charging unauthorized fares and extorting money from stranded commuters. [🎥: MetroTV]

Happy they are resting them all I go to school and can not eat because of the price the drivers charge. If I eat, I will sleepon a Cocoa board

You increase fuel and they increase fares then you go about arresting them. This is how you send your party back to opposition

Many Some of those drivers are just out there taking advantage of stranded passengers. That shouldn't be tolerated.

Arrest all of them

The transport ministry and ministers are still displaying their gross incompetence in handling the bus commute situation in Ghana after so long and all their PR photoshoots in ‘procured’ buses 🤡. Still relying on this unsustainable measure which solves nothing!

They dey overcharge stranded people and think say nobody go catch them. Taskforce don land. Good.

Pls they should come to pokuase, achimota, and amassaman .... They way these guys are charging eh From pokuase to amassaman 5ghc Pokuase to sarpeiman before 4.5ghc now 10ghc Pokuase to asamankese before (30ghc) now 40ghc Very wicked and greedy people

Arrests may happen and stop it today, but what will stop it from happening again next week?

Bu if they arrest them today and release them later they are not going to change they will still take the same illigal fare form us passengers this arrest does not do anything

Wow, this a good move. Some drivers think they are untoucheable and can do whatever they like. Keep doing the good work Accra Metropolitan Area Taskforce. #GodblessmotherGhana

This is the best news coming from Accra this year. They should be dealt with

Fix the buses and release them to the street and see if they'll be the charging this unessecery fares. Arresting them won't do anything tsw

If fuel prices haven't gone up overnight, what's the justification for the sudden fare hikes?

Some of the the drivers and their mates are really milking us in this country

The same thing is happening at kasoa,from aktosi to kasoa is 6.5ghc they now charge 10 ghc and kasoa to bawjiase too has been increased to 12ghc instead of 10ghc.

Suspend their drivers licence for one year and if they are caught driving without a 2 years in jail

@SenaBen13 Sometimes I wonder why Ghanaians are so greedy. Now drivers are charging their own fares? Ah

They should come to Madina Masalachi. Pantang Abokobi 5.50 now they charge 10cedis. Hmm

This is good. They should also come to madina in the evening and arrest those charging double fares from madina to Oyarifa.

But diaspora people go cam talk 3na aboard be hard siafou u know what the average Ghanaian dey pass thru daily. Abi dem get kraa u book bus ticket for the whole month

Public transport shouldn't become a bargaining market every time demanding increases.

This are the things we need to be seeing. The lawlessness and disobedience in this country must stop.

Oh very good

Where are the government buses?

A very good move, even when fuel price hasn't increased they do so by charging their own fares. It is everywhere. They will just go by this everyday again and again. This exercise should be a continuous one

How I wish they can do same to the drivers at Kpone barrier😭

Please tell the task force to visit the Dome - pillar two station near Tudu lebanon house. 7.00 cedis fare is now 10 cedis.

Good job, its every where in accra especially at night

@OfficialRhoni They should go to TUDU and Circle ⭕️ that is very important places

The authorities should also go to China Mall the way they have increased the prices of things there are alarming...

@GhPoliceService please come to Lapaz- Abeka road opposite Fidelity bank to enforce fairness and Justice o we dey bleed 🩸

@_Stevemensa Make them come circle at 5pm please

Kasoa is worse when it comes to price hikes…it’s now a new normal
