Overview
- Provincial officials launched SUBE, Argentina’s national electronic fare system, in Mendoza’s Zona Este on Monday, activating e‑payment across routes in San Martín, Junín, Rivadavia, Santa Rosa and La Paz.
- Buses now accept open payments that include physical or digital SUBE, contactless bank cards and QR codes.
- Riders receive the same perks used in Greater Mendoza, including transfer credits, social fare discounts and step‑down pricing for frequent users starting with the 21st trip each month.
- Real‑time schedules are available in the MendoTran “Cuándo Subo” app, which now lists the Eastern routes.
- Adoption is starting moderate during a transition that keeps older payment methods, while the province installs SUBE service points at terminals and allocates more than 900 million pesos for the rollout.
