Today, the metro goes up: the trip will cost $ 19 and will increase again in May

It's already planned for next month a new metro that will take the subway ticket up to 21 pesos.

In 2012, the Nation transferred the subway system to the Government of Buenos Aires and the ticket cost then 1.10 USD. This Tuesday, the increase accumulated since then will reach 1.627%.

In the midst of the outbreak of inflation and the devaluation of the peso, rate hikes are back on the agenda.

When the government of the day Mauricio Macri received the metro on January 1, 2012, the ticket cost $ 1.10. The City immediately decided to increase 127.27% in one night and raised the bill to $ 2.50.

In March 2013, a new download was set up. At that date, 40% of the cost of the ticket was $ 3.50. In January 2014, the increase was 28.57% and the trip price was $ 4.50.

In 2015, the city did not have any increase. It was an election year. Only in July 2016, he is back. On this occasion, the increase was again significantly higher than inflation, reaching 66.66% and bringing the bill to the current sum of $ 7.50.

The 2017 elections again postponed the increase of a reasonable rate because it is transportation because it is a consumption of inelastic labels, that is to say, no matter how much they increase, consumers do not have much room for maneuver to save them.

In 2018, the upward trend in public transport fares has remained stable and a further increase is already planned for May.
