The Foz do Iguaçu City Hall covered 57.6% of collective transport costs in August 2026. The R$3.87 million deficit was financed with municipal resources.
In August 2026, the operating cost of public transport in Foz do Iguaçu was R$6.72 million, while revenue totaled only R$2.85 million, creating a deficit of R$3.87 million. According to the Social Observatory of Brazil in Foz, the city hall covered 57.6% of that amount, equivalent to R$3.87 million.
The Observatory’s study indicates that system costs rose 16.3% between March and August 2026, while the number of users grew only 2.9%. In the same period, 1,172,442 boardings were recorded, of which 57.3% were free rides or other fare benefits.
The Municipal Board approved a budget increase of R$12.39 million to ensure service continuity through the end of 2026. Social Observatory president Haralan Mucelini highlighted the need for debate on the contracting model, costs, and service quality before the next tender.
