The Transport Ministry suspended the 6% increase in train and bus fares within national jurisdiction scheduled for September 1. Current fares for all train and bus lines were extended indefinitely through a Transport Ministry resolution published in the Official Bulletin on Thursday morning. In the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, bus fares range between AR$52.9 and AR$72.6, while train tickets cost between AR$25.7 and AR$52.9, depending on the route. Since March, public transport fares have been updated monthly based on the price index done by the National Institute for Statistics and Census (INDEC, for its Spanish initials) in Greater Buenos Aires. It also asks that provinces and Buenos Aires City apply the same measure for public transport within their local jurisdiction.
