Cordoba.- Again Providing urban transport within the country is in jeopardy. Აm Friday Complete it Mandatory reconciliation Dictated by the Ministry of Labor of the nation that Stopped the UTA strike What are you going to do Same pay contract as Buenos Aires metro drivers, but Provincial companies say they can not afford it. There is a struggle in the background Subsidies ი Senators from Cordoba, Mendoza and Tucuman Looking for a solution with a project “Federal Ticket.” The same idea was suggested by President Alberto Fernandez at the beginning of his administration.

Transport subsidies were reached last year $ 3.2 billion (0.66% of GDP) According to research by consulting firm Equilibra. If train and bus fares at AMBA increase by 20%, subsidies will continue to reach $ 3.800 million (0.7% of GDP). In order for the account to remain stable, ticket cuts must be increased by 50%.

Last February, the national government announced a project to remove subsidies from the 32 CABA line, but retains them for the 268 AMBA line, about half of which connects the suburbs to the Buenos Aires area. Although he wanted to add the adhesions of the provinces, they were left in the middle as the difference with AMBA is maintained. The government has announced a project to remove subsidies from the 32 CABA line, it retains it for the 268 AMBA line, about half of which connects the suburbs to the Buenos Aires area. Although he wanted to add the adhesions of the provinces, they were left in the middle as the difference with AMBA is maintained.

Now the senators Alexandra Vigo (Federal Cordoba), Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza, President of the Interblock for Change Together) and Beatrice Avila (Together for Change, Tucumán), Contribute to a National Program for Fair and Federal Distribution of National Subsidies for State Passenger Transport.

Vigo describes that 80% of the resources used to subsidize passenger transport remain in AMBA, where customers pay a minimum ticket of $ 18 and a maximum of $ 23 when prices are more than twice as high as in the country.

The criteria that the project sets and that must be followed for the allocation of resources are Computational units (Namely, Authorized, acting and appealed to the National Transport Regulatory Commission); The Computing agents (Said the staff In a group with three maximum limits) and Kilometers passed.

The money for the distribution, proposed by the initiative, should come from the Unified Fund for Public Passenger Transport Assistance by Urban and Suburban Vehicles in the Republic of Argentina.

According to a study by the Stock Exchange Institute for Economic Research, tickets in the AMBA start at $ 18, but on average, with users paying $ 13, that figure covers only 11% of the cost when it’s 50% inside. Cordoba Commerce. The The national state bets $ 78 on the AMBA, otherwise the ticket would have to cost $ 119.

In the interior, due to the low population density, the cost of services is higher: $ 192 in Cordoba and $ 210 to $ 215 in Peso Mendoza and Rosario. It should be a price without state aid. Today the people of Rosario and Cordoba pay $ 59, and from Mendoza $ 35. In those cities National contributions – through the Transport Compensation Fund – range from $ 35 to $ 45, which is half of AMBA..

To compensate for this difference, the rest of the money in Mendoza is provided by the province, while in Cordoba and Rosario it is a mix of provincial and municipal administrations.
