Overview
- Resolution 4/2026, published in the Official Gazette, repeals the state-designed marbetes and fajas and establishes a new identification and tracking regime for long-distance bus luggage.
- The measure takes effect 60 days after publication, while companies must inform the Subsecretaría de Transporte Automotor and the CNRT of their chosen system at least 30 days before it begins.
- Approved options include codes printed on tickets, QR or electronic IDs, digital records in ticketing systems, company-issued labels, or any tool that ensures secure, unequivocal traceability.
- Unidentified baggage will not be allowed on board once the rule applies, existing indemnity rules for loss or damage remain in force, and passengers may forfeit compensation for noncompliant items.
- Systems must be interoperable for interjurisdictional and international services with neighboring countries, with operators required to retain data and provide dispatch receipts for claims.
