“The problem was concentrated in the Ersa corridors and we committed to recovering them with a strong investment. “We are very satisfied,” he expressed. Furthermore, he clarified that the next step after this recovery “is to present the new transportation model,” which is a local project. “In June we are going to put out to tender the metropolitan transport that integrates cities of Greater Córdoba”advertisement.
“The subsidies have disappeared, we took charge of this and engineering must be done so that the cars can be integrated and guarantee investments. It is very difficult to sustain investment, buy new cars if there is a rate delay and if people cannot even pay the rate, which is deficient,” the mayor stressed.

In the midst of the dispute between the 6 de Julio Palace and the Nation over funds for urban transportation, Passerini revealed that negotiations for the landing of the Sube card. “I was not in Córdoba because for many years we have been discriminated against, we did not receive that contribution which is a way of subsidizing demand. Córdoba already has a service that subsidizes demand (free tickets), but Sube has other attributes that can be incorporated,” he explained.
According to him, they are working to incorporate it and expect it to be available to users in June: “Incorporating it will mean adding many people who cannot pay the 700 pesos to have that attribute.” And he predicted that it will be when the metropolitan service is already underway. Meanwhile, he stressed that they work with the tools they have.
Subsidies
In February, the national government announced the removal of transportation subsidies. Faced with this situation, the Municipality of Córdoba continues to “battle” for these funds and that is why mayors of the most important capitals met to bring a proposal to the management of President Javier Milei.
Passerini explained what they will propose to the Nation: “Given the withdrawal of subsidies, we must generate a resource that we intend to be the distribution of the fuel law fund “which is paid throughout the country but like many other things it is only spent in Buenos Aires.”
To do this, they will present a project that seeks modify that law and thus “recover that resource that is being lost in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires.” The idea is that senators from each province defend the idea and that the money “be distributed proportionally”, that it be like a “compensation to generate more attributes in the Sube.”
“The idea is to extend the attribute to people who work, who are below the poverty line, who need and have the right to public transportation. The State has to be present to resolve these things.”
