Minas Gerais transportation cost trends

Overview

In Minas Gerais, rising mobility costs have influenced consumer behavior and public transportation pricing.

Data from the platform BlaBlaCar indicates that residents saved over R$ 134 million during the first half of the year by using shared ride services. This period saw 23,000 new driver registrations and an 18% expansion in the active customer base.

Following these economic pressures, the State Secretariat of Infrastructure, Mobility, and Partnerships (Seinfra) implemented a resolution to increase intercity bus fares. Average adjustments for services on paved highways reached 6.705%, while conventional services on unpaved roads saw increases of up to 7.496%. In regions such as Ouro Preto and Mariana, these changes affect various service categories, including conventional, commercial, sleeper, and executive lines.
