Netizens question VIP Jeoun over fare hike
During this period, the company never announced fare reductions in its transport services, leaving many netizens to ask questions regarding the reasons for the new price adjustment.
YEN.com.gh compiled a few of the comments below:
@Asone Aloko said:
"What causes this sudden increase in your fares? I'd like to understand the reasoning behind this decision as it seems to be affecting the economy and inflation relying on your transport services. I hope this decision doesn't negatively impact your customer base. It's crucial for your business to maintain customer trust and satisfaction, especially with the fare increase. Perhaps you could consider offering additional services or benefits to justify the new prices. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this."
@Alhaji Noble also said:
@What's the difference between the Executive and the Standard coaches? When dollar and fuel came down you refused to reduce the prices why? What is the essence of this price increase?"
@Mensah Agba commented:
"When the fuel fell to GH¢ 9 for over three months you guys never thought of reducing fares but it's all good time will tell."
@Faith Plange Matteer also commented:
"When fuel price reduced, u never did anything abt the fare, the moment it went up p3, there naaaa increment. oya carry on."

Ghanaian fuel prices go up in 2026
Fuel prices have risen across the country following the new price floor set by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
This is mainly due to tensions in the Middle East and the war in Iran, which have affected oil production across the world.
According to the new prices, diesel is now selling at a minimum of GH¢17.10 per litre, while petrol is being sold at a minimum of GH¢13.30 per litre for the first pricing window of 1 April 2026.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) would also be sold at a minimum of GH¢10.71 per kilogram during the same period.
The revised price benchmarks reflect movements in the international oil market following geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
“The new price floor represents a sharp increase from the second pricing window of March (16–31 March), when petrol, diesel, and LPG were set at GH¢11.57, GH¢14.35, and GH¢10.67 respectively.
“Under the revised petroleum pricing guidelines, the price floor constitutes the minimum threshold at which Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) are permitted to retail petroleum products.”
GPRTU demands scrapping of fuel taxes
YEN.com.gh reported earlier that the Ghana Private Road Transport Union had given the government two days to scrap fuel taxes or face nationwide transport fare hikes.
The union said that rising fuel prices, expensive spare parts, poor road conditions, and higher DVLA charges had made operations increasingly unsustainable for drivers.
