Passengers Stranded As Drivers Allegedly Arrested Over GH¢15 Fares

Several passengers have reportedly been left stranded along the Accra-Kasoa stretch amid claims that commercial vehicle drivers are being arrested over fares ranging between GH¢15 and GH¢20.

A man speaking in a video capturing the situation said the number of commercial vehicles operating between Accra and Kasoa had reduced, leaving many passengers struggling to find transport.

“The commercial vehicles are no longer operating in large numbers from Accra to Kasoa because drivers are being arrested for charging GH¢15 or GH¢20, and now people are stranded here,” he said.

The footage shows a number of people gathered by the roadside, with some appearing to wait for vehicles to take them to their various destinations.

The situation has reportedly made it difficult for some passengers to get vehicles, with fewer commercial cars available along the route.

The man in the video linked the shortage of vehicles to the alleged arrest of drivers who are said to be charging fares of GH¢15 or GH¢20 on the Accra-Kasoa route.

The video does not provide further details about how many drivers have been arrested or the circumstances surrounding the alleged arrests.

It is also unclear from the footage whether the fares mentioned apply to the entire Accra-Kasoa journey or specific sections of the route.

The Accra-Kasoa road is one of the busiest transport corridors in the Greater Accra and Central regions, serving thousands of commuters who travel between the two areas each day.

For passengers who depend on commercial vehicles, a reduction in the number of available cars can result in longer waiting times and difficulty getting to work, school and other destinations.

The claims made in the video have not been independently verified, and no official statement from the police or transport authorities has been provided in the information available.

The video has nevertheless drawn attention to the difficulties passengers say they are facing, with calls for clarity on the reported arrests and the fares being charged along the route.
