Bus fares in the Greater Buenos Aires area have increased by 7.6% as of March 16, affecting national lines and differentiating costs based on registered and unregistered SUBE users.
Bus fares for national lines operating in the Greater Buenos Aires area (AMBA) have increased by 7.6% as of March 16, according to the resolution 11/2026 published in the Official Gazette. This regular mid-month adjustment affects a total of 104 bus lines governed by national jurisdiction, and the adjustments are made public by the Transportation Secretariat to inform users of the new pricing structure.
The revised fare structure specifies different ticket prices for users based on whether they possess a registered or unregistered SUBE card, which is the payment system used for public transit in Argentina. This differentiation underscores the government’s intent to encourage the use of formal public transit payments while also managing subsidies for various user groups.
This increase in fares is part of periodic adjustments intended to cope with inflationary pressures and the rising costs of public service operation. For commuters in the AMBA, this development may prompt reconsideration of their daily commuting budget and could influence overall public transport usage patterns in the region.
