Following the reduction in fuel prices on June 30, 2024, the Sierra Leone Road Transport Cooperation (SLRTC) has announced a 5% reduction in transportation fares. This adjustment has been made to reflect the decrease in fuel costs.
The new fares apply to both SLRTC buses and private sector operators providing services across provincial and border cities in the country. The SLRTC aims to ease the financial burden on commuters by passing on the benefits of lower fuel prices.
This decision is expected to encourage more people to use public transportation, potentially reducing traffic congestion and environmental pollution. By lowering fares, the SLRTC hopes to make travel more affordable and accessible for all citizens.
The SLRTC’s announcement has been well-received by the public, with many praising the organization for its prompt response to the fuel price reduction. This move demonstrates the SLRTC’s commitment to providing cost-effective and efficient transportation services to the people of Sierra Leone.
