subway
, where they call for jumping the turnstiles in rejection of the public hearing called by the City of Buenos Aires to confirm
a 360% increase in the passage
through which it would pass. from $125 to $575 starting in April.
The measure was called by the Unidxs x la Cultura space, student centers, SUBTE workers, cultural sectors and neighborhood assemblies, who called to organize to make two "windows" this Friday: one in the morning at the Federico Lacroze station on Line B (7 a.m.) and another in the afternoon at the Plaza Miserere station on Line A (5 p.m.).
“We carried out this measure together with the SUBTE workers and other sectors of workers who are fighting it because the increases in transportation harm us all.
In the future, new increases are expected, starting in April the ticket will cost $574 and will reach $757 in July.
Everything goes up, except our salaries,” said Lourdes Oliverio, Communication student at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA.
"People already jump the turnstiles every day, what we do is an action to
make visible the demand for something that is more frequent every day
. The majority of students do not know how they are going to finish their degrees and the families do not know "How are they going to send the boys and girls to schools," added Luca Bonfante, member of the Student Center of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UBA.
The value of $757 is the rate that the Government of the City of Buenos Aires wants to reach in the month of June.
To this end, he called a public hearing tomorrow at noon, as part of the protocol required by law.
