Puerto Vallarta, México – The Government of Jalisco has announced the cancellation of a planned increase in public transportation fares, confirming that riders will not pay 14 pesos as previously proposed. Instead, beginning April 1, the cost of a single trip will be set at 11 pesos for all users, regardless of how they pay.
According to Pablo Lemus Navarro, Governor of Jalisco, the decision reflects the administration’s commitment to listening to citizens and building consensus on issues that affect everyday life.
“No one will pay 14 pesos, for any reason,” the governor stated. “The fare will be 11 pesos without conditions, and it will be the only fare adjustment during my entire six-year term.”
The 11-peso fare will apply to all payment methods, including the Tarjeta Única al Estilo Jalisco, the Mi Movilidad Card, and cash payments.
Preferential rates will also remain in place. Students throughout the state – including those attending the University of Guadalajara and other institutions – will continue to pay just 5 pesos per ride. To qualify, students must verify their status using their Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) and school identification.
Additional transportation support will remain available for several groups, including senior citizens, people with disabilities and their caregivers, female heads of household, relatives of missing persons, and eligible students who receive transportation credits.
The Tarjeta Única al Estilo Jalisco will continue to serve as a central tool for accessing public transportation benefits and other state programs. Beyond transit use and the city’s Mi Bici Public Bike System, the card can also be used to enroll in free medical insurance programs, receive social assistance, access financial services, and participate in state discount programs.
Governor Lemus said the decision on fares will be accompanied by continued efforts to expand and strengthen Jalisco’s public transportation network. The goal, he said, is to provide a system that is accessible, efficient, and modern while meeting the needs of residents across the state.
“In my years in public service, I have learned that when making decisions it is essential to listen,” the governor said, emphasizing that dialogue and consensus remain key principles guiding his administration. “We will have more good news soon,” Lemus added.
