Line 148 ‘El Halcón’ Shuts Down as Operator Closes and Sells Quilmes Terminal

Regulatory approval for any route transfers has not been announced by the CNRT.

Overview

  • The company confirmed its closure and the sale of its Quilmes Oeste terminal after months of financial strain and labor conflict.
  • About 500 employees say they are owed the December bonus and salaries for January and February, leaving the workforce in limbo.
  • Filed proposals would split the service, with San Vicente (Grupo DOTA) taking Solano branches and Expreso Quilmes handling Varela routes, while Misión Buenos Aires is also being considered.
  • Under one plan, roughly 380 jobs could be preserved if back pay is regularized and a transfer is approved.
  • Passengers who relied on links between Plaza Constitución and the south of Greater Buenos Aires now face longer and costlier commutes.
