Buses increase: how much will the ticket cost for the lines that connect the City with Cornubano

The Government reported through the Official Gazette, what the new tariff schedules will be for public urban and suburban automotive passenger transport services under national jurisdiction, which will run from this month and the next.

The measure that governs from the recent publication, under resolution 11/2026, established that “in order to maintain the economic-financial equation that allows the maintenance of the public motor vehicle transportation service of passengers of national jurisdiction, in conditions of quality and efficiency, it is necessary to transfer a part of the operating costs of such services to the tariff tables.”

The Suburban Lines Group I (SGI), which connect CABA with the first or second cordon of Greater Buenos Aires, covering distances of up to 50 km, will have the following values:

Among the factors considered, the Ministry of Transportation considered the proposals made by automotive transport business chambers who stated that “the current rate on the lines of national jurisdiction has lagged far behind those of the CABA and PBA jurisdiction, which generates situations of unfair competition in some sections of routes where lines of these jurisdictions compete, in addition to generating this deviation in the balance of subsidies (…) the sector does not demand more subsidies, but rather more rates as a mechanism to adjustthese differences and underestimations of calculations…”.

In this sense, they add that “increases have been recorded and recognized in the prices of inputs and services, including diesel, civil liability insurance for the fleet of public passenger motor vehicles, the price of rolling stock and the price of spare parts necessary to carry out preventive maintenance.”

Prior to the approval of the new fare tables, the Ministry of Transportation issued a call for the issuance of citizen opinions, and the Ministry of Economy addressed the issues raised within that framework “through resolution 8 of February 6, 2026.”
