Salvador's bus fare is projected to increase to approximately R$ 5.80 in early 2026. The estimated R$ 0.20 increase aims to reduce the subsidy the city provides, which currently covers R$ 0.59 per passenger. This adjustment, foreseen in the concession contract, accounts for rising fuel and parts costs, with the city continuing to subsidize part of the system.
