– Let us separate quality of service from subsidy resource, because the resource is administered by the Nation. The regulation, regulation and control of transportation is carried out by the provinces and municipalities. The first thing I want to say is that we have already changed a large part of that matrix that was distorted. In 2018 the governors renounced the transportation subsidy. And in 2020, with the appearance of the pandemic, we launched subsidy mechanisms again, in theory to compensate for the drop that the loss of passengers represented for companies, because there was a pandemic and we were all locked up. There the discussion about the transportation subsidy was born again, but the vast majority of those who are now governors expressly resigned in the fiscal consensus that they signed with Macri in 2017. Despite that, I made the decision understanding that there is a question of cost , of indirect salary, of increasing the volume of subsidy. Today we are already at 60-40, in 2024 we aspire to be at 50-50, but there is one thing that is central for us, which is that the province or municipality that wants to receive the subsidy joins the SUBE, because if not, The subsidies go to businessmen who, instead of putting the money into improving the buses, the bodywork, the roofs or the workers’ salaries, end up doing, as happened with some businessmen here in Greater Buenos Aires, counting on liquidation. In other words, playing financial gambling with the subsidy money. At some point I got quite angry, because we also summoned the companies and showed them what they were doing with the subsidy money and there we accelerated the issue that the subsidy has to be nominated to the people. Secondly, regarding the cost of the service: I listen to the other candidate who proposes the elimination of the subsidy, and a person from Tucuman has to know that the bus ticket is going to cost $725, the same one who pays $180 today. A person from Tucumán, a person from Salta, a person from Santiago has to know that with this liberation of gasoline prices proposed by the other candidate, the liter in the subsidy will cost them 800 mangoes of common gasoline. Plus, in the case of the north, 60 more mangoes for logistical costs.
