Private road transport operators have reportedly rescinded their decision to embark on a nationwide strike on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, over concerns surrounding the implementation of the TraffiTech-GH traffic enforcement system and the occupation of designated bus stops by traders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Information available to aptnewsghana.com indicates that the transport operators have directed their drivers to continue providing commercial transport services while negotiations with relevant stakeholders continue.<\/p>\n

The reported decision comes barely 24 hours before the planned industrial action, which was expected to affect commercial transport operations nationwide.<\/p>\n

As at the time of publication, aptnewsghana.com had not independently obtained a formal joint statement from all the unions confirming the withdrawal of the strike notice. The development is therefore being reported on the basis of information received by the news desk.<\/p>\n
