The bus ticket price will rise up next January in Sao Paulo

The City Mayor Gilberto Kassab (DEM party) said on September 14th that the bus fare in the capital (currently at R$ 2.30), will suffer an increase next January. During an interview to The Radio Bandeirantes, Kassab said that the studies to define the new value hasn't started yet.

However, Alexandre de Moraes (the Secretary of Transport), said that the proposed adjustment will be sent to Kassab on October. Since 2006, the ticket price has been the same and during the 2008 elections, Gilberto Kassab promised to keep the value on 2009.
