¿Cuánto subirá el pasaje de los buses en Medellín y el Valle de Aburrá este 2026 y cuándo se anunciará?

TL;DR

  • Transport operators in Valle de Aburrá are requesting a fare increase of about $400 for 2026, aiming for a ticket price near $3,800.
  • This proposed increase is to address rising operational costs such as fuel, maintenance, spare parts, insurance, and administrative expenses, alongside a 23% increase in the minimum wage.
  • The transport unions advocate for state support and alternative funding to prevent the entire cost from being passed on to passengers, acknowledging the financial constraints of many users.
  • The 'technical tariff,' reflecting current costs, is estimated to be over $4,500, but operators believe this level is unaffordable for the public.
  • Key demands include state-provided fare compensation, subsidies, and structural support, as well as improvements to commercial speed through dedicated bus lanes and contraflow measures during peak hours.
  • The Metropolitan Area is expected to release a decree regarding the fare adjustment soon.
