Intercity bus fares: Santa Fe government approves 28% increase | OneFootball

The Santa Fe government authorized a 28% increase in the cost of interurban passenger bus tickets. Since the decree has already been published in the Official Gazette, it has already come into effect in some companies, while in others the increase will be effective in the first days of this week.

In the case of the SUBE system, the update of the fare requires technical validation and takes approximately 15 days.

The news was known from the publication of Decree No. 1,792/2025, dated this Thursday, and bears the signature of Governor Maximiliano Pullaro, Minister of Productive Development, Gustavo Puccini, and Minister of Economy, Pablo Olivares.

From the Executive, they justified the 28% increase in the interurban ticket based on «the ratification of the removal of national subsidies, as well as the variation in operating costs (...) which makes it difficult for companies in the sector to face these increases with the current tariff framework».

This 28% increase in interurban transport fares is the second increase so far in 2025. The first increase was recorded during the first days of January past.

Rodolfo Wagner, president of the Association of Passenger Automotive Transport (Atap), expressed his disagreement with the percentage of the ticket price increase. «We believe that the increase should be higher and that there should be a system that does not delay the tariff recomposition so much. Ideally, it should be done every two or three months so that the impact is not so abrupt for the passenger», he opined.

According to the calculations of the transport entrepreneurs, on this occasion, «the increase should have been at least 35% to compensate for the delay that already existed of 15% in January of this year», said Wagner.

He also pointed out that «the delay in the application of the tariff negatively impacts the economy of the companies, which have suffered in their economy due to the delay».
