Buses: the keys to the agreement between the City and the Nation
After the meeting, the city government clarified the four key points that the transfer can be summarized in:
- Orderly transition: “The signing of the Agreement between the two governments establishes an orderly transition of the 31 bus lines, in which the City Government assumes responsibility for all subsidies from September 1st, taking charge of the management of the lines, which will allow bus fares to remain – for the time being – at current price levels.”
- SUBE Network: “The City of Buenos Aires, in its quest to assist passengers who use public transportation, will also take charge of the Red SUBE program on the 31 lines it will manage, which will allow for the maintenance of 50 and 75 percent discounts on travel combinations on those lines within two hours of the start of the first trip.”
- Ticket increase: “The City is going to make a great effort to ensure that the fare paid by passengers does not increase at this time. But we are going to subsidize 66% of the cost of the ticket and that has to be corrected. Assuming payment from 1/9 of the part of the subsidy that the Nation stops paying forces us to postpone some investments and other expenses.”
- Signature of the minutes: “Having achieved that the transfer be carried out through an Agreement Act and not suddenly is a first big step to continue working on full autonomy in other areas such as IGJ, Justice, Port, etc.”
Buses: what will be the price of the ticket in September after the removal of subsidies?
Despite the conflict between the City of Buenos Aires and the national government, the vice president of the Association of Motor Transport Entrepreneurs, Luciano Fusaro, ruled out an increase in fares in September: “There will be no increase in fares in September.”
According to the businessman, the cessation of the integrated ticket will affect “the 31 lines that circulate within CABA and the lines that only circulate through the suburbswhich are number 200 and up.”
