When did the public transportation fare increase take effect in Durango?
The new fare went into effect in April 2026, after its official validation by the state government. This increase represents an adjustment of approximately 7.6%, resulting from factors such as the rise in the price of fuel, spare parts, and vehicle maintenance.
According to transportation authorities, the objective was to guarantee the viability of the service in the face of the increased cost of the necessary inputs for its operation.
The increase applies only to the general fare. However, the fare for groups with preferential fares remains unchanged:
Students
Senior citizens
People with disabilities
For these groups, the fare remains at 7 pesos, so they are not affected by the increase.
