Salvador Lifts Integrated Transit Fare to R$5.90 as Interior São Paulo Cities Outpace Most Capitals

City halls point to higher operating costs, contract requirements, service continuity.

Overview

  • Salvador will raise the full fare from R$5.60 to R$5.90 next week across urban buses, BRT and other integrated services, according to the municipal announcement.
  • The capital will keep its fare integration scheme via the Salvador Card, which allows up to three modes within the integration window for a single charge.
  • A g1 survey reports Campinas’ fare now exceeds those in 24 state capitals; the city says the adjustment preserves the system’s economic balance and cites R$236.4 million in 2025 subsidies.
  • Limeira’s fare is now R$5.70, higher than in 23 capitals, with the city attributing the price to technical studies and keeping old vale-transporte credits valid for 30 days.
  • Piracicaba remains the priciest in the region at R$6.40 since June 2025, underscoring how several interior cities now charge more than most capitals.
