Overview
- The national government will formalize the change in the Official Gazette, lifting the minimum fare for AMBA lines that cross General Paz or the Riachuelo to about $495, with distance bands reaching roughly $678.
- The adjustment applies to interjurisdictional routes under national control, while CABA- and Buenos Aires Province–only lines follow separate monthly updates tied to inflation plus two points.
- Córdoba raised its urban bus fare to $1,720, and Tarifa Social Federal beneficiaries pay $774 per trip, with the municipality estimating about 134,000 users receive the discount.
- AAETA argues fares, even after steep increases since 2024, remain below the inflation-adjusted 2019 benchmark of roughly $838 and say higher tickets are offset by reduced subsidies.
- The shifts follow a 2024 transfer of responsibilities that fragmented fare regimes across jurisdictions as the government seeks prices closer to operating costs.
