Cuts to public transport subsidies are likely to begin on January 1, President Javier Milei’s spokesperson Manuel Adorni told a press conference on Wednesday morning. Many people who live in the Buenos Aires suburbs make long trips to work each day, sometimes taking three buses. The measure will affect trains and buses in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area (AMBA), as well as the Buenos Aires Subte. At present, bus fares cost between AR$52.96 to AR$72.61 in Greater Buenos Aires (US$0.06-0.08 at the official rate, US$0.05-$0.07 at the MEP rate). Other measures include cuts to public transport and utility subsidies.
