The

increase in the subway rate will

be discussed this Tuesday in a public hearing.

It is the step prior to the application of an increase that was announced in December, which will take place in two stages and will bring the ticket

first to $ 25.50, in March, and then to $ 30.

​

As scheduled, first the ticket will go from $ 21 to $ 25.50.

And then, during April or May, the rate will remain at $ 30. The Premetro will also go up, which will first go from $ 7.50 to $ 9.10 and then to $ 10.70.

The increase

will be 43%

and the progressive discounts for frequent travelers will be maintained.

Thus, in the first tranche of the increase, you will have to pay $ 25.50 from the 1st to the 20th trip;

$ 20.40 from the 21st to the 30th;

$ 17.85 from 31st to 40%, and $ 15.30 from trip number 40. In the last leg of the increase, these progressive rates will be $ 30, $ 24, $ 21 and $ 18, respectively.

According to a City law, the opinions gathered during public hearings

"are advisory and non-binding

.

"

In other words, the Buenos Aires Executive is not obliged to take into account the suggestions or objections that are formulated in the debates.

And after the meetings are held, you are now

able to make the increases you propose.

The cost of VTV will also increase in the City.

This happened at the beginning of February with the calls to discuss the rates of the VTV, taxis and metered parking.

Although there is no official confirmation yet, the three rates will increase

between this week and next.

The taxi will rise

 44% in two stages

: the first, during this February, will cause the daytime tab to jump from $ 5.95 to $ 7.14, with a flag drop to $ 71.40.

The night token will amount to $ 8.57.

The second will be

in April

, when a taxi will cost $ 8.57 per token and the flag drop will rise to $ 85.70.

At night, the token will cost $ 10.28.

The last increase in taxis had been

in February 2020

.

The CNG, which represents 41% of the cost of taxi drivers, rose 32% from that month until now.

The value of the taxi token will also increase by 44% in two stages.

In the Buenosairean Government they speak of "update" to refer to the increases.

They argue that several of these rates have not risen for more than a year, thus

lagging behind inflation.

However, there are costs that will suffer higher increases.

In the case of the

Vehicle Technical Verification (VTV).

The process will increase by 45%, so that the cars will pay $ 2,665 instead of $ 1,838.

The motorcycles, meanwhile, will pay $ 1,002 instead of $ 691.

As for metered parking,

the value of the hour will double: it will jump from $ 15 to $ 30.

It has been a year and a half that amount was not adjusted.

Due to the pandemic, the parking lot continues to operate as if it were a Sunday.

Therefore, the new rate will take effect as

soon as the metered parking is in effect.

​

In addition, in this area the City has been proposing for years the renewal of the system, with the extension to more blocks of the City.

But different judicial brakes, changes in the project and the pandemic continue to postpone its realization.
