Bahía Blanca Council Approves 19% Bus Fare Increase to 1184 Pesos

Officials say the increase reflects rising fuel, labor and maintenance costs

Overview

  • The municipal council voted to raise the flat bus fare from $995 to $1184, marking a 19% increase
  • Pandemic-era free transport privileges for health and security workers have been eliminated, requiring them to pay standard fares
  • The new fare will take effect within 7–10 days after the SUBE electronic card system updates
  • National authorities will implement a further 6.2% tariff hike on federally regulated AMBA bus lines from July 16 under Resolution 36/2025
  • Local authorities will maintain or boost municipal subsidies as passenger numbers decline due to telework adoption and higher operating costs
