translated from Spanish: Mexibús and Mexicable to raise rate by 2020

The Mexibús I, II and III systems, as well as the Mexicable, will have an increase of two pesos from January 1, going from seven to nine pesos, the government of the State of Mexico reported.
Just on December 19, it was known that in 2020 the public transport fare in the State of Mexico, which includes micros, combis and trucks, will have an increase of two pesos, so the minimum fare will go from 10 to 12 pesos for five kilometers of the trip, and 25 cents more for each additional kilometer.
The move to increase the cost of Mexibús and Mexicable, the Mexican government argued, is due to the continued tariffs since 2017, adding that such an adjustment is lower in percentage terms to the growth of the minimum wage.
The state administration stated that they will continue to make investments in the corridors of the transport system, so that by 2020 all the units in operation have video surveillance cameras and panic buttons.
In addition, it maintained, strengthening security measures for users, through operations with police elements to discourage the commission of crimes inside stations and units, and operatives to prevent the invasion of vehicles into the confined lane.
It also asked transport dealers to improve station facilities, modernize units, increase and strengthen operator training, and more efficientfrequency mexibus cycles.
