National AMBA Bus Fares Rise 6.1%, Setting Minimum at 451.01 Pesos

This final tranche completes a 21.52% cumulative adjustment aimed at offsetting operator revenue deficits in the face of high inflation.

Overview

  • The 6.1% increase on July 16 raises the national-jurisdiction minimum fare for trips up to 3 km with a registered SUBE card from 424.91 to 451.01 pesos.
  • Passengers using an unregistered SUBE card will pay surcharges ranging from 717.11 to 983.18 pesos based on distance traveled.
  • The adjustment applies to 103 national AMBA bus lines and marks the conclusion of a three-step, CPI-linked tariff recomposition that began in late May.
  • City and provincial bus services follow distinct CPI+2% schedules, with minimum fares now at 488.70 pesos in Buenos Aires City and 489.61 pesos in Buenos Aires Province.
  • The tariff recomposition responds to federal directives under DNU 70/2023 to correct pricing imbalances and safeguard operator revenues amidst soaring costs.
