In BuenosAries, Tourists are Charged The Same as The Locals

It happens in many places in the world trying to hire a service or enter a museum or park, you find that there are different prices for tourists and for those who live there. For in Buenos Aires, a failure of justice has taken the first step that everyone must pay the same.

This is because a consumer advocacy association made a complaint because the tourist bus which runs the most important attractions of Buenos Aires to charge a price higher Argentines and other foreigners. Then the court has decided to equate things and that all who decide to use the service pay as well.

Although it’s unfortunate the situation is that the company owns the buses decided to raise prices. Of course, since before the verdict, the locals paid 25 pesos (4.80 euros), the rest of the Argentines 30 (5.80 euros) and foreigners 50 (9.70). For now everyone should pay 70 pesos (13.55) for the ride.

Thus, the company complies with the law that prohibits abusive practices as it is charging different prices to foreigners, but, in turn, increases overnight, prices by 180% for Argentine citizens. Good news accompanied by a bad solution.

In any case, the court decision opens a door of hope for other services and facilities begin to enforce the law and that in its pricing, both Argentines and tourists are treated equally. An example that should propagate the world.
