The Mayor’s Office of Bogotá presented the update of rates for public transport and services for private vehicles that will be in force as of next January 10, 2023, as well as the prices in the taxi service that circulate in the capital of the country.
(These are the official changes to the ‘pico y placa’ in Bogotá for 2023).
According to the District Administration, the adjustments were made based on the increase that the minimum wage will have for the year 2023 and the Consumer Price Index – CPI (up to November 12.53%).
Regarding the SITP, the technical teams of the Ministry of Mobility and Transmilenio SA, in addition to the above variables, took into account the operating costs of the System to define the adjustment.
The cost of the operation of the SITP is affected by the costs of inputs for vehicles and maintenance, among others, which are impacted by inflation and product prices. On the other hand, the increase in the minimum wage impacts the payment costs for System workers.
According to the above, As of January 10, 2023, the value of the ticket for the Troncal (Transmilenio) component will be $2,950 and the Zonal (Sitp) will be $2,750.
The differential rates, which have not been modified in the last three years, will also be adjusted, without affecting the benefits for the elderly and Sisbén beneficiaries.
(All the changes in mobility and transportation that Bogotá will have in 2023).
Likewise, through the personalized “TuLlave” Card, the following benefits will be maintained:
● Transfers of $200 between zone and trunk buses in a window of 110 minutes from the moment of ticket validation.
● Up to 2 trips on credit when the card runs out of balance.
● Unified means of payment for Zonal and Trunk components, and TransMiCable.
● Recover the balance in case of loss of the card.
● Web recharge.
In any case, the value of the ticket that the user pays is less than the cost of the system to transport it. The city will continue to subsidize the remaining value to benefit the Bogota citizenry.
Taxi service rates
The adjustment of the value of the rate for the taxi-type service is made based on the variation in the costs of the service. This increase will be fixed for the minimum career and its respective surcharges, in accordance with the provisions for each year.
To collect the new rate, taxi drivers must countersign the control card, which must contain the value of the current rates.
