Overview
- Rosario’s council passed a 30% rise for taxis and remises, setting the taxi flag‑down at 2,752 pesos and 116 pesos per 100 meters, with remises at 3,102 pesos and 148 pesos, while promotional discounts for seniors, students and people with disabilities remain.
- The vote leaned on an EMR–UNR analysis showing a deep cost–revenue gap, and Mayor Pablo Javkin said he is exploring GNC‑powered buses to lower transport operating costs.
- La Libertad Avanza abstained and pressed to legalize ride‑hailing platforms such as Uber and Didi, as some officials warned about competitiveness pressures on the taxi system.
- In Mar del Plata, the council approved the budget with an estimated 11% rise in the Urban Services Rate and shifted the public‑lighting component to EDEA’s electricity bills.
- Buenos Aires Province formalized a 15.34% increase in bus fares for La Plata, Berisso and Ensenada effective March 1 under a scheme combining an extraordinary 10% adjustment with the monthly IPC+2% index.
