Overview
- Municipal ordinance 5,485 was enacted in San Miguel de Tucumán, lifting the urban fare from $950 to $1,250 after a roughly 31% increase approved by the city council.
- The new price is not yet active because the change must be processed by CNRT and the SUBE system, with industry estimates suggesting a four- to seven-day window while passengers continue to pay $950.
- The ordinance also updates discounted passes, setting social fares at 75% to 80% of the ticket and educational benefits between 35% and 70%, including defined 88-, 44-, and 22-ride options.
- Provincial officials said Aetat formally requested adjustments for interurban and rural routes, with an increase in the interurban network likely to mirror 31.58% and rural tariffs still under review, with preliminary definitions expected by Friday.
- In La Banda (Santiago del Estero), an extraordinary session to debate a 20% fare rise to $1,140 was canceled for lack of quorum after some blocs left the chamber, leaving the proposal unresolved.
