Rosario Raises Urban Bus Fare to ARS 1,720 as Santa Fe Weighs Its Own Hike

Officials cite a cost study showing per‑trip costs above the fare, with the increase below six‑month inflation.

Overview

  • Rosario implemented the new TUP fare of ARS 1,720 on Monday, Feb. 23, a rise of 8.8% after six months without changes.
  • Mobility authorities said the adjustment stays under the 15.4% inflation accumulated over the last six months.
  • An EMR study estimated each trip at ARS 1,898.43, prompting use of Concejo‑granted extraordinary powers to address a gap above 20%.
  • The fare now matches Córdoba’s level, and Rosario highlights recent fleet renewal with 150 new buses.
  • Santa Fe’s mayor said a new tariff will be set before month‑end with service improvements under review; the frequent fare remains ARS 1,580 and SUBE updates can take days to reflect changes.
