Pasaje de Transmilenio podría aumentar más tras nuevo salario mínimo
Aunque el Distrito había realizado un análisis técnico previo para definir el ajuste del pasaje de TransMilenio para 2026 y todo parecía indicar que el incremento sería cercano a los 250 pesos, en las últimas horas ese escenario quedó en entredicho.

- The situation may lead to higher fares or increased municipal subsidies for TransMilenio.
