Social media has been buzzing since morning following the decision of commercial drivers to go on an indefinite strike.
On Monday, some commuters were forced to walk miles as commercial transport operators begin nationwide strike to demand the reduction of taxes on petroleum products.
The coalition of commercial transport owners made up of 16 transport unions – including the biggest group, the GPRTU say they will embark on the strike until government heeds to their grievances.
With Lapaz, Uber, Ashaiman, trotro, Madina trending on Twitter, the users shared their opinions on the situation.
Today people go burn calories with 20,000 steps.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some tweethearts questioned why ride-hailing vehicles prices have shot up tremendously while others made jokes.
Meanwhile, some drivers and mates have turned the station into a football park as they look on unperturbed about the predicament of commuters.
At least, we have found a new 🇬🇭First XI for Blck Stars amid the 🚌commercial drivers’ strike over fuel prices 😂. Workers walking to work while drivers and mates turn Kasoa Trotro Station into football park⚽️🏟 @Joy997FM.

Public transport operators (Trotro) are on strike. A good time to venture into an upgraded transport service. I introduce to you, the Bride (broom ride) transport service.
