Public Transport Fares to Increase in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area from August 1

Commuters in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) will face higher travel costs starting August 1, as fares for buses, subways, and trains are set to increase. These adjustments are part of regular tariff updates implemented by the national government and the administrations of the City and Province of Buenos Aires.

The fare hikes will affect millions of daily public transport users. Metropolitan train fares are expected to rise by approximately 11.63%. For passengers using a registered SUBE card, the minimum fare will be $1,105.48 for provincial bus lines and $853.01 for city-managed lines. Those paying without a registered SUBE card will face a significantly higher fare of $1,600 for bus travel.

Bus fares within AMBA will see a 3.9% increase, calculated based on the Consumer Price Index (IPC) and an additional 2% to cover operational costs. The minimum fare for registered SUBE users on provincial lines will be $1,105.48, while lines managed by the City of Buenos Aires will have a minimum fare of $853.01.

The Buenos Aires subway system will also implement a new fare adjustment on August 1, increasing the ticket price from the current $1,621 to $1,685.26. The system will continue to offer progressive discounts for frequent users, with bonuses applied for those making more than 20, 30, or 40 trips per month, aiming to mitigate the impact of the price increase on regular passengers.
