Argentine regional transport modernization

Overview

Argentina is implementing digital modernization within its regional public transportation systems.

In Tucumán, the provincial government is introducing digital payment methods for rural bus lines, including QR codes and credit or debit cards, alongside the Independencia card. To facilitate the transition, officials have extended the option for cash payments for an additional 30 days following user requests.

In Tandil, a new mobile application titled “¿Cuándo Subo?” has been launched to assist commuters by providing estimated arrival times for urban buses through predictive logic. The system is currently undergoing a calibration phase to maintain accuracy amidst roadworks on Route 226 that may impact real-time data. Local officials in Tandil are also preparing to meet with transport companies to discuss potential route modifications and service emergencies.

Additionally, the Tren Sarmiento has expanded its differential service, offering more frequent weekday trips featuring amenities such as climate control and reclining seats.
