Bolivian transport sector fare dispute

Overview

Following the agreement between the government and the Confederación de Choferes de Bolivia to implement a transitory fare increase of up to 35%, regional implementation has shown significant variation. In Chuquisaca, Governor Luis Ayllón promulgated Decree 098/2026, which establishes maximum transport tariffs for a 90-day period based on technical studies and sector dialogue.

While some transport companies in La Paz have started applying the new rates, the rollout has faced challenges in other regions. Operators in Santa Cruz and Cochabamba report that low passenger demand has prevented the implementation of these increases; in some instances, operators have even reduced prices to manage operating costs.
