Governor hikes city bus fares to chorus of disapproval
An avalanche of criticism greeted the announcement this week from Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro that the cost of using Guadalajara’s Tren Eléctrico (subway), Trolebús, Microbús and Sitran, as well as all bus routes currently operating under the “rutas empresas network,” will increase their fares from 7 to 9.50 pesos as of July 27 – a hike of around 35 percent.
