With this, carioca tariff consolidates itself as the most expensive in the country; Despite the increase, the social price remains at $ 5.00 for users with income of up to $ 3,205 and using the single ticket
O do Recently stood out as the most expensive in Brazil, after a new increase in the tariff. From next Saturday (10), the ticket value rose from $ 7.50 to $ 7.90, representing an increase of just over 5%. This increase has generated concerns among users, including both employees and employers, due to significant impact on the family budget. Despite the existence of a social tariff of $ 5 for those who earn up to $ 3,205 per month, many still look for alternatives, such as remote work, to mitigate costs.
This increase in the price of the subway is part of a series of readjustments in Rio de Janeiro’s modes of transport in 2025. Urban and intercity bus fares were also high, while the Barcake System between Niterói and Rio de Janeiro had a reduction of $ 3 per stretch. Amid these adjustments, the Rio de Janeiro City Hall is developing a strategic plan by 2028, which includes the modernization of the city’s bus fleet. The proposal aims to offer more comfortable and air -conditioned vehicles, similar to those used in the BRT system.
The promise of climating Rio de Janeiro buses is old, but the city reaffirms its commitment to improve the quality of public transportation. Replacing the current fleet with more modern and comfortable vehicles is one of the goals for the coming years. Meanwhile, users continue to face daily challenges with public transport, awaiting improvements that can alleviate the financial impact and provide a more efficient and pleasant service.
