Government Confirms 100% Hike in Public Transport Fares
Transport Minister Guillermo Dietrich confirmed today that minimum fares for buses and trains in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area will increase by 100%.
From 8th April, the minimum bus fare will increase from $3 to $6 while basic train tickets will rise from $2 to $4. In both cases, the tariff will increase in line with the distance travelled.
Subte fares are also set to rise by 67% to $7.5, though this will be implemented in the next two months.
