Buenos Aires Province Publishes New Bus Fares as Transit Price Rises Spread

The moves reflect a shift to automatic monthly indexation that passes higher costs to riders.

Overview

  • Buenos Aires Province’s Transport Ministry, which posted its tariff resolution on Tuesday, confirmed roughly an 11% bus fare rise with a 1,054.85‑peso minimum after the increase took effect on Monday.
  • Operators report only a partial return of bus frequencies after cuts of up to half of scheduled trips, and riders describe long waits, packed buses, and units skipping stops in La Plata and nearby areas.
  • In Buenos Aires City, fares moved earlier with a 753.74‑peso minimum for city‑run bus lines and a 1,490‑peso subway fare for registered SUBE card users starting May 1.
  • Hidalgo state in Mexico confirmed a 20% public‑transport fare increase that will apply once published in the state gazette, and the mobility secretary tied the hike to stricter maintenance, identification, and operator training rules.
  • Local authorities are reviewing more changes, with San Miguel de Tucumán’s council seeking data to weigh a request to lift the bus fare to 2,400 pesos and La Plata advancing a two‑stage taxi increase set to start Friday.
