UTA Halts Service on Unpaid Bus Lines After Midnight Despite Subsidy Increase

The union ties service to credited wages at the legal payday, rejecting installment plans.

Overview

  • The government published Resolution 86/2025 updating the cost matrix and lifting subsidies by roughly 15% to support urban and suburban bus operators in the AMBA.
  • UTA confirmed a retention of tasks from 00:00 Friday for companies that did not fully credit November salaries and the half‑year bonus.
  • Confirmed stoppages include La Plata lines 275, 307 and 506, with additional disruptions reported for services from groups such as La Cabaña and MOQSA depending on each firm’s payroll status.
  • Officials said the new funds should normalize payments and stressed that private operators are responsible for payroll administration.
  • Transport chambers had proposed splitting November wages and the aguinaldo due to liquidity strains, a plan the union rejected as it conditions work on actual deposits.
