Government of SP announces adjustment to train and subway fares from January: R$ 5.20

Just as the city of São Paulo did with bus fares, the state government announced, on the afternoon of this Thursday (26), the adjustment of the price of train and Metro tickets, which will now be R$5. .20 from January 6, 2025.

In relation to the previous rate, there will be an increase of R$0.20 (4%). Currently, the ticket costs R$5.

According to the state Secretariat for Metropolitan Transport, the fare adjustment takes into account “the maintenance and sustainability of the system” and ensures “the principle of reasonable fares”.

“The most equitable scenario from a social and economic-financial point of view of the system is the proposed tariff adjustment that results in the proposed application of 4% on the value of the current tariff, below the estimated inflation for the year 2024, predicted by 5.09%, a percentage that will generate a reduction in public contributions from GESP (government of the state of São Paulo) to public companies”, stated the department’s executive secretary, Manoel Marcos Botelho.
