August started with a new wave of increases: transportation, fares, rents, schools and prepayments go up

The beginning of August brings a new wave of price increases affecting Argentine families, including public transportation, tolls, private school fees, rent, water and gas tariffs, and prepaid medical plans. These adjustments are tied to inflation rates and set by national authorities, local governments, and regulatory bodies. In Buenos Aires, bus fares increased by 3.9%, while subway tickets rose to a minimum of $1,685.26. Toll prices on major highways also saw significant hikes, with some reaching over $6,662.77 during peak hours. Private schools in Buenos Province approved an 8.1% increase, phased over two months, impacting around 1.2 million students.
