How trotro fares track fuel
Trotro fares track petrol prices with a 2 to 4 week lag, but the May 2026 fare adjustment broke the pattern. When NPA's window moved petrol from ₵14.60 to ₵15.20 in the late-May review and diesel surged past ₵17 — partly due to the government removing petrol-side intervention while reducing diesel subsidy — GPRTU went straight to a 20% nationwide fare increase effective 2 June 2026.
The lag exists because GPRTU negotiates a flat fare schedule rather than auto-indexing — every adjustment is a discrete negotiation. The June 2 adjustment was the largest in two years and brought fares almost exactly in line with current fuel costs, leaving no immediate lag.

Station fares vs pickup fares
A trotro that fills at the lorry station charges the standard route fare. The same vehicle picking up passengers along the route from a roadside flag-down typically charges 50p–₵1 more to compensate for the partial trip. This isn't officially in the GPRTU schedule but is universally practiced.
The exception is short fixed-rate hops within a neighborhood (e.g., Madina internal at ₵1.50), which are flat regardless of where you board. If the conductor's asking price seems wrong, ask another passenger — the right fare is universally known on each route.
