A Ghanaian lady has slammed commercial bus operators, locally known as trotro, for charging exorbitant fares during Christmas.

Taking to social media to share her frustrations, the young lady, identified as Nana Akua, said the trotro drivers have taken advantage of the busy December period to extort passengers.

According to Nana Akua, the transportation fare from her house to Accra Central has been increased from GH¢6.00 to GH¢10 and GH¢15.

This increment, the young lady said, was unfair to the passengers, many of whom were struggling to get by in life.
