The Secretariat of Transport is rolling out a new tariff scheme for national bus lines crossing the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. The minimum fare will rise to $650 starting February 18 and will increase again in March.
The Secretariat of Transport has announced a new fare increase for buses in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA). This change affects national bus lines operating in the region and takes effect on February 18, 2026.
According to the announcement, the minimum fare will rise from its current value to $650. This measure is part of an updated tariff scheme aimed at adjusting to prevailing economic conditions, including inflation. An additional increase in fares is expected during March, though specific amounts were not detailed in the initial statement.
The AMBA, encompassing the City of Buenos Aires and surrounding suburbs, is a critical area for public transport in Argentina, where millions rely on buses for daily commutes. This fare adjustment comes amid inflationary pressures affecting transportation companies' operating costs.
Officials from the Secretariat of Transport have not provided further details on the exact reasons for the increase beyond the need to update fares. Service users should prepare for the new cost starting tomorrow.
