Registering the SUBE card will allow access to the SUBE Network (Ministry of Transportation)

As of April 1, those who have not registered their SUBE Card will have to pay more expensive train and bus fares in the AMBA, due to a provision of the Ministry of Transportation.

However, the government clarified that “the process to register them will remain open indefinitely. In this sense, it is reported that registration through the website and virtual channels may be temporarily affected by the unusual high demand that exists and the large number of people entering simultaneously.”


Beyond the price of the ticket, it should be noted that nominalizing the SUBE provides the possibility of consulting or recovering the balance in situations of loss or deterioration and of viewing the associated movements and discounts . It will also allow access to the SUBE Network, which discounts 50% of the value of the second trip and 75% from the third that are made within a period of 2 hours and facilitates access to the social rate.


How much will the bus ticket increase in April?​

Those who do not nominalize their SUBE will have to pay almost 60% more for the fare. Thus, if the minimum bus ticket is considered, which is currently $270, in April, if the card is not registered, $429.30 must be paid. On short-distance buses, the longest section could cost up to $589.54.

How much will the train ticket increase in April?​


In the case of trains, where the cheapest ticket costs $130, you would have to pay a fare of $260.


How much is the new negative balance of the SUBE?​

After the rate increases in February, the negative balance of the SUBE card amounted to $1,080 since this amount is the equivalent of the price of four minimum bus tickets .
