“All officers stationed on roads and checkpoints are hereby instructed to monitor compliance and take appropriate action against violators.” the statement read.
The GPF also urged the public to report any instances of overcharging to the nearest police station and to be prepared to serve as witnesses.
“The public is encouraged to report any instances of overcharging to the nearest police station and be ready to be witnesses. The GPF remains committed to ensuring fair transport practices and protecting commuters from exploitation,” they wrote.
