Fares for Trains, Buses Increased 35% in Mexico

Bus and train fares for passengers and cargo prices went up 35% this week in the second increase this year, the Ministry of Communication and Transportation announced.

Adolfo Oscar Entrala, the director of the National Union of Cargo and Movers Services, said the hikes were necessary because prices of replacement parts and other services and road tolls have increased almost 1,000% since the recent devaluation of the Mexican peso.
