The Buenos Aires government, through its officials, warned of the increase that fares could suffer if the Nation makes official the removal of subsidies and the transfer of jurisdiction.
He Government of the City of Buenos Aires warned about the Government’s decision to remove subsidies to collectives and, in this framework, he pointed out an increase in the ticket price towards the $700. “We have to resolve the situation, but not overnight,” said the Minister of Infrastructure of Buenos Aires, Pablo Bereciartua.
The Buenos Aires official expressed concern “from the GCBA, We want to provide clarity and prevent passengers from becoming hostages.“. And, in detail about the negotiation with the national government, he added: “A few weeks ago I received a note signed by Minister Caputo informing that the Nation was going to withdraw, the note was answered and followed by a meeting with the Secretary of Transportation, last Monday.”
The minister also assured that the Buenos Aires administration needs a certain period of time to carry out the transfer that the Executive Power of Javier Milei insists on. “When the PDC and the subway were transferred There were a number of steps necessarywhich the City also wants to do on this occasion,” he said.

Bereciartua detailed the subsidy scheme that impacts the ticket price of CABA passengers and pointed out a possible increase if the Nation makes the transfer effective and disassociates himself from his part.
“The real cost is evaluated by the Nation, it is divided into 3 thirds; Today the cost would be $1000 and one third is paid by the City, another by the Nation and another third is paid by the person traveling.“If the Nation does not cover it anymore, the ticket would be around $700,” he explained.

“The City has the resources to pay the subsidy it pays, but needs to resolve what the Nation would no longer paywithin a short and agreed period of time There could be a subsidy for demand, which is what is done in the world and not for supply, which is what is implemented; the system is very poorly managed and we must correct it intelligently,” he concluded.
The points of conflict between the City and the Nation over public transport
The amendment to the law would involve the transfer of various powers over transport and its routes, which also includes the delegation of the costs of these bus lines.
The following changes would be made: Transport would move from the orbit of the Nation to that of the City and the transfer of attributes to define routes, frequencies and rates is contemplated.
The measure could also lead to an increase in fares and the withdrawal of funding from the integrated ticket of the SUBE Network (for those who make more than one trip within a two-hour period). In total, expenditures of more than $8.5 billion per month are expected.
