The Legislative Assembly approved, with 58 votes, a new extension of the Transitory Law for the Stabilization of Fares for Collective and Mass Public Passenger Transportation Services, which will remain in effect until december 31, 2027.
The legislation establishes provisions aimed at contributing to the stability of fares paid by users of collective and mass public transportation. It also seeks to ensure that the service remains continuous, regular, and uniform, without modifying the authorized fare.
According to legislators, the extension of these provisions aims to help protect the finances of salvadoran families who depend on public transportation for their commutes. The measure maintains the framework that regulates fare stability for the coming year.
The extension also includes the validity of the registration of single fare collection points with the General Directorate of Land Transportation. These will maintain their registration until december 31, 2027, as part of the provisions included in the transitional framework.
The Transitional Law for Tariff Stabilization was originally issued through Legislative Decree No. 257 in december 2021. At that time, its effects were established until december 31, 2022.
Subsequently, the Legislative Assembly extended the validity of the regulations through various decrees. The first extension was approved in december 2022, while the second was granted in april 2024.
The third extension was approved in august 2025 and stipulated that the provisions would remain in effect until december 31, 2026. With the new legislative decision, the term is now extended for an additional year.
Thus, the transitional framework for stabilizing public transportation fares will remain in effect throughout 2027, maintaining the provisions related to fare amounts and the regular provision of service for users.
