Buenos Aires Metro Area Raises Bus and Subte Fares 4.5% Effective Jan. 2

The scheduled update reflects a periodic review that continues to strain household transport budgets.

  • With SUBE, typical bus trips in the metro area now range from $593.27 to $880.86 depending on distance and jurisdiction.
  • In Buenos Aires Province (lines 200+), bus fares are $685.11 for 0–3 km, $763.28 for 3–6 km, $822 for 6–12 km, and $880.86 for 12–27 km.
