Overview
- Mexico City’s increase for concessioned microbuses, vans and buses is now in force via the Gaceta Oficial, setting fares at 7.50 pesos (0–5 km), 8.00 (5–12 km) and 9.00 (over 12 km), with route buses at 8.50/9.50 and corridor services at 9.50.
- Semovi warned drivers against overcharging with fines from 5,000 to 60,000 pesos and mandated rules including obeying speed limits, respecting exclusive lanes, posting official fares, bans on phone and alcohol use, and wearing uniforms.
- City leaders said the adjustment adds roughly 30–45 pesos per month for typical users and leaves Metro, Metrobús, Trolebús, Cablebús and Tren Ligero fares unchanged, as the agency prepares to at least double and potentially triple 2026 funds to replace about 2,500 aging units.
- Political pushback intensified as federal deputy Laura Ballesteros offered to help users file amparos to reverse the CDMX increase and urged restoring Metropolitan and Capitality funds with 100 billion pesos for transport financing.
- In Argentina, November fare updates took effect across the AMBA for buses, subways and tolls, with SUBE-registered riders retaining automatic transfer discounts, while Mendoza approved a two-step 40% rise to $1,200 on Nov. 10 and $1,400 on Jan. 1, 2026, alongside social discounts.
