Accra Metropolitan Assembly officials have arrested several commercial drivers. The drivers operate from the Kingsway lorry station in Accra. They are accused of charging passengers unauthorized transport fares.
The arrests were made by the Assembly's taskforce. This happened during an enforcement exercise on July 28, 2026.
The operation targeted drivers who allegedly increased fares without official approval. This is against transport regulations.
The taskforce's goal is to ensure drivers follow approved public transport fares. They also aim to protect commuters from arbitrary price increases.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly is committed to maintaining fair transport pricing for all citizens.
Further actions will be taken against drivers found to be in violation of fare regulations.
