Justice suspends price increases for buses in São José, SP | Vale do Paraíba and region

The action of defender Jairo Salvador argues that the municipality did not comply with the organic law that obliges the city council to promote user participation in the study, in the audit and the definition of public transport rates in the municipality. This would require public hearings.

In the context of the civil action, the defender examined a sentence pronounced last November against a previous legal action initiated in 2015 which had at the time called into question the readjustment of the pbadage. In this document, the court held that the tariff should be discussed with the company. Merit has not been tried yet.

"This 2015 issue, which is still ongoing, has not been resolved yet and the city government now wants to apply a new adjustment," said Salvador.

The G1 searched for City Hall, which did not comment on the decision. The government has just declared that it creates the city council for urban mobility.

Currently, the ticket costs R $ 4.10 for ordinary users and R $ 4.70 for companies that buy transport vouchers. With the expected increase, it would reach R $ 4.30 and R $ 4.90, respectively.

The increase is 4.87% for the user of a single ticket and 4.25% for the ticket. In alternative transport, the new fare will be unique, at R $ 4.30 – this because the modality does not count with electronic ticketing.
