The mayor of the city of Córdoba, Daniel Passerini, announced this Thursday that they will request a meeting with the Nation to once again discuss the issue of transportation subsidies in the interior of the country. He did it during the announcement of the incorporation of new units for the Coniferal company.
“We told the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, that we know that they will not continue giving us subsidies, but the municipalities are the first lines of tension. The Nation eliminated funds that came to the province. Co-participation fell in an incredible way. We ask for a meeting, we hope they listen to us,” said the mayor.
It is worth remembering that shortly after beginning his administration, President Javier Milei withdrew transportation subsidies throughout the interior of the country, and only partially maintained them in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Amba).

Cordova. There will be an increase in the intercity transport ticket, but discounts would be applied during off-peak hours
This forced the mayors of the large inland cities to significantly increase the price of tickets, which in the case of Córdoba rose to $700.
In turn, Passerini spoke of the intention to integrate services with interurban buses, especially those that make routes in Greater Córdoba. “The groups that come from Villa Allende, Saldán, Malvinas, what we have to do is integrate them. Today we have a metropolitan entity that is working very well,” he considered.

This is in line with the Province’s intention to restructure the entire interurban system, avoiding the duplication of routes and unproductive kilometers.
Passerini anticipated that this Friday eight zero kilometer buses will be added and next week 45 more will be added to recover the frequencies on lines 43 and 45, which Ersa left and which the Coniferal company took over. Starting this Friday, this company takes over line 43.

“Line 43 is incorporated into Coniferal with eight new cars. We will be able to reinforce the other lines that do not have adequate services, which was felt a lot until last week. We will have two lines starting tomorrow covered with new cars,” said the mayor in dialogue with Miter Córdoba.
