The subway fare increase was suspended by a court after accepting a complaint filed by the Buenos Aires legislature member Alejandro Bodart.

The ticket that now costs $ 2.50 would increase from morning to $ 3.50, according to the provisions of Mauricio Macri Government.

But the Court in Administrative and Tax Law No. 3 under Judge Paul Mantaras accepted Bodart filing and suspended the increase.

Mantaras ordered the city government to “suspend the enforcement of the resolution 1798/SBASE/13″ and that “within two days accompanied by a report which prove the elements that motivated the enactment” of the increase.

Meanwhile Bodart said the MetrovĂ­as Company, which holds the concession of the service, has enormous profits and it would not need such a increase in the rate, as this could absorb the lack of national government subsidies.
