Overview
- The new fares take effect on August 1, with city and provincial authorities applying their monthly updates that raise colectivos, subte, trenes and peajes across the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
- Colectivo fares will rise about 3.9% in the City of Buenos Aires and about 4.4% in the Province, while the subte increases roughly 3.9%, lifting the single-trip price to about $1,684–$1,685 for regular SUBE users.
- National train fares jump about 10–12% under the government’s adjustment, producing SUBE‑nominated sectional prices (for example roughly $480/$624/$768 by section in some reports) and much higher flat cash fares around $1,500–$1,600.
- Payment rules and discounts remain a key feature: users with a registered SUBE keep lower sectional fares and the subte preserves declining discounts for frequent riders, while cash or non‑nominated users face substantially larger payments.
- Regulators also changed utility indexing, with Enargas moving to bimonthly incorporation of imported gas costs and AySA raising water tariffs about 3%, broadening the cost impact beyond transport and adding pressure to household budgets after earlier cumulative increases this year.
