Buenos Aires Bus Line 148 Returns With Partial Service Under New Operator

New management begins service under a plan with job guarantees, pending wage talks at the Labor Secretariat.

Overview

  • Line 148 is back in service on a limited basis under Grupo Zbikoski’s La Central de Vicente López, which runs buses in the region as Misión Buenos Aires.
  • Authorities cleared 118 buses that are registered with the CNRT, the national transport regulator, with the company indicating it could add new zero‑kilometer units soon.
  • The operator says ramales A, B, D, G, H, and I will run, while the former B (El Jalón/Acceso) and G (Solano por San Martín) branches are discontinued.
  • Roughly 450 workers keep seniority and pay terms under Collective Agreement 460/73, and unpaid wages will be negotiated by the company, the UTA union, and the outgoing firm at the Labor Secretariat.
  • Coverage differs on the exact restart date, with one outlet citing May 1 and another pointing to May 2 without official confirmation, after months of stoppages tied to the prior operator’s cash crisis.
