The figure describes the month’s flow and compares August 2026 with August 2025. It is not a count of unique passengers, the population served, fare revenue, or a year-to-date total.

Trips in the reduced-fare category reached 22.3 million, an increase of 5.9%. The two rounded category totals add to the reported 60.3 million.

That is consistent with the faster percentage increase in the reduced-fare group, but the bulletin summary does not provide unrounded base values or a decomposition of each segment’s contribution. It does not state why the figures changed. The result should not be attributed to employment, tourism, the school calendar, service frequency, fares, or demographic change without more evidence.

The summary provides no sampling error rate or confidence interval for the series. Because the figure is supplied by the company and published by INE, this article retains that attribution and reported precision rather than presenting it as an independent estimate.","The publication places Metro among Chile’s monthly transport and communications statistics. The same bulletin also covers vehicle passages at toll plazas and motorway gantries, telecommunications, internet, and mail; these are separate indicators and do not belong in Metro’s passenger total. This article focuses on trips carried by Santiago’s network and its fare categories.
