São Paulo Transportes S/A (SP Trans) and the São Paulo Transport Secretariat suggested this Wednesday (22), at a meeting of the Municipal Traffic and Transport Council (CMTT), the adjustment of R$ 0.70 in the bus fare. According to the G1, the new R$ 5.10 fare would be imposed to correct the inflation of the last two years, which had no increase in tickets.
The proposal will be sent for evaluation by Mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB), who has already declared that he intends to cover the increase with subsidies. This year, the city of São Paulo allocated R$3.3 billion to SPTrans, which represents 47% of the total cost of operations.

A study presented by SPTrans indicates that, with an adjustment, its tariff revenue would increase by R$ 104 million in 2022, which would reduce the municipal subsidy. The company claims that the transport system costs R$8.71 per passenger.
The mayor has until Saturday (25) to announce whether he will actually increase the value of the bus fare in 2022, currently at R$4.40.
According to Folha de São Paulo, Nunes is seeking an agreement with the federal government to pay for free travel for the elderly, which could avoid the general readjustment.
The inflation index used by SPTrans was the IPCA-IBGE, of 15.51% accumulated between December 2019 and November 2021.
