The government of the City of Buenos Aires has implemented various promotions and discounts for subway users, with the aim of encouraging the use of public transport and facilitating access to it. These discounts can be obtained by paying the fare with different methods such as debit cards, credit cards, mobile phones with contactless technology, and virtual wallets.
For example, users who use a Visa debit or credit card can access a 65% discount on the fare, with a limit of $8,000 per week. This benefit applies to both physical cards and those mobile devices that have NFC technology. On the other hand, MasterCard offers a 60% discount to credit or prepaid card users, with a monthly reimbursement limit of $15,000.
Additionally, Banco Nación and Banco Galicia have launched special promotions for their clients. Banco Nación offers discounts of 70% on the fare for users of MasterCard debit or credit cards, with specific monthly limits. On the other hand, Banco Galicia clients can save up to 65% on the subway fare, with a weekly limit of $8,000 per card.
It is important to mention that these discounts are applied through reimbursements, meaning that the full fare is deducted at the time of payment and then the corresponding amount is refunded. With the implementation of these promotions, the aim is to promote the use of public transport in the City of Buenos Aires and make the subway system more accessible for citizens.
