Achimota Fare Dispute: Passengers Confront Bus Conductor Over 15% Cut A tense situation unfolded at Achimota station this morning as passengers on a Tema-Ashaiman bound bus confronted the conductor over the newly implemented 15% reduction in transport fares. Passengers claimed they were overcharged and demanded refunds. The incident highlights the challenges of implementing fare reductions and ensuring compliance across the transport sector. "He refused to give us the discount," stated one passenger, visibly upset. "We paid the old fare and he wouldn't give us our money back." Another passenger added, "This isn't fair. The government announced the reduction, and we expect everyone to follow the rules." The conductor, while not directly quoted in the video, appeared to be engaged in a heated discussion with passengers. The video footage shows a crowded bus, indicating the widespread nature of the problem. While the situation was tense, it appeared to resolve without physical violence.
