TL;DR

The new public transport fare in Bogotá will be $3,550, an increase of $350 (10.9%) from the current price.
The fare hike is primarily due to a 23% increase in the minimum wage for 2026 and other rising operational costs like IPC, IPP, and input prices.
Despite the fare increase, the district will maintain subsidies and free rides for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, disabled, and low-income citizens.
The 125-minute (2 hours and 5 minutes) zero-fare transfer window will remain unchanged.
The monthly TransMiPass will stay at $160,000, even though the transport subsidy increased by 24.5%.
Bogotá plans to modernize its fleet by adding 705 new electric buses between 2026 and 2027.
A draft decree for the fare change was published for public comment from January 2nd to 8th.
The fare adjustment is considered essential to guarantee the ongoing operation of the public transport service.
