Transport Secretariat Raises AMBA Bus Fares, Sets Minimum at AR$495

The inflation-linked update follows a regulatory formula that limits increases to the Greater Buenos Aires CPI.

Overview

  • Published in the Official Gazette as Resolution 77/2025, the new fare table takes effect immediately for national‑jurisdiction routes in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
  • The adjustment is capped by a 9.72% rise in the Greater Buenos Aires CPI between May and September, based on a technical calculation by the Subsecretaría de Transporte Automotor.
  • The minimum fare moves to about AR$495 (0–3 km AR$494.83), with bands set at 3–6 km AR$551.24, 6–12 km AR$593.70, 12–27 km AR$636.21, and more than 27 km AR$678.42.
  • Authorities cite the legal framework in Resolution 1017/2022, amended by Resolution 5/2024, and note that required public participation under Resolution 616/2018 has already been completed.
  • The measure applies to lines that cross General Paz or the Riachuelo, forms part of a subsidy‑reduction strategy under the DNU 70/2023 emergency, and was delayed until after the October 26 legislative elections.
