After several twists and turns, since last Friday, May 17, the new tariff schedule for Subway and Premetro services in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires began to take effect . This adjustment was ratified after the precautionary measure imposed by Judge Elena Liberatori was annulled.

Despite the implementation of the increase, the litigation has not definitively concluded , since Judge Liberatori still has the power to decide on the precautionary measure requested to suspend this increase in the price of the ticket.


According to the resolution published on May 9 in the Official Gazette of the city of Buenos Aires, with the aim of minimizing the impact on users' pockets, the implementation of the new values will continue to increase in the coming months until May 1 August.

Retirees, pensioners, people with disabilities, transplant recipients, and primary and secondary students will continue to have the social rate and frequent passenger discounts.


Until before the increase, each trip had a cost of 125 pesos for the Subway and 43.75 pesos for the Premetro.

How much will the subway increase in June 2024​

The second increase established by Subterráneos de Buenos Aires SE (SBASE) will be impacted starting June 1 and will remain in force until August , where the third section of the increase will be implemented.

In this way, the second section will begin to take effect on June 1 and will be $650 for the Subway and $227.5 for the Premetro . The first section implies an increase of almost 360%.

Starting with the third tranche, a differentiated rate will be established for unnominalized SUBE. Thus, those who have a registered card will pay $757 for the Subway and $264.95 for the Premetro. Otherwise, they will pay $859.07 and $300.67.

What is the negative balance of the SUBE Card?​

Public transport users who use the SUBE card have the option of a negative emergency balance. This balance allows passengers to continue their trip if their card runs out of charge. However, this benefit has a specific limit and, once reached, the user must recharge the card to continue using the transport.

The negative emergency balance on the SUBE card is 480 pesos.

In May 2024, the negative balance allowed on the SUBE card is 480 pesos , this amount is due to resolution 4/2021. The figure was outdated, since the figure does not allow traveling by subway without a balance.

How to register the SUBE Card​

The registration process makes it possible to consult or recover the balance in situations of loss or deterioration , as well as view the associated movements and discounts . Likewise, it provides the opportunity to receive information about public transportation and report SUBE points (commercial premises, train and subway stations, lottery agencies and post offices where it is possible to obtain or load the card).

In addition, registration enables procedures to be carried out through the SUBE website, with only a personal password , and facilitates access to the Social Rate for those who are included in the beneficiary groups.
