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.
