Jalisco Defends 14-Peso Transit Fare Hike as Talks Open on Lower Increases in Three Cities

Officials cite rising diesel costs, pledging a 1,600-million-peso subsidy via a no-fee Tarjeta Única to sustain an 11-peso social fare.

Overview

  • Transport and Finance chiefs faced an extraordinary Congress session to justify the April 1 increase from 9.50 to 14 pesos.
  • The discounted 11-peso fare will be accessed through the Tarjeta Única, which authorities say has no opening costs or commissions for users.
  • Opposition lawmakers labeled the hike abrupt and regressive, alleged preferential dealings tied to Broxel, and criticized the lack of enforceable service improvements.
  • Transport Secretary Diego Monraz moved to negotiate smaller increases for Lagos de Moreno, Tepatitlán and Ciudad Guzmán, with operators meeting at Setran on Friday.
  • MC deputy Mónica Magaña said the 2026 federal budget provides no mobility funding for Jalisco and urged diesel price reductions or a federal subsidy to ease the impact.
