There’s a benefit on Qrobús that’s about to change hands, and thousands of people could be left out. The Querétaro State Mobility Agency (AMEQ) has opened a call for applications to determine who will continue to ride public transportation at the preferential fare and who will return to paying the full price.
Students and community service workers are the two groups that need to take action. The process isn’t automatic. This time, everything is handled through the Qrobús app, and the requirements have been simplified compared to previous years, but the deadline is short, and there are no extensions for those who apply late.
How long do I have to renew the Unidos Fare in Querétaro?
AMEQ opened the renewal window on April 20th. The deadline is short, so you need to act quickly. Renewal is done exclusively through the Qrobús app, without lines or in-person appointments; and you only have until Saturday, June 20th.
The call for applications is open to two groups: students enrolled in schools at any level—from preschool to higher education—and community service personnel. Senior citizens and people with permanent disabilities are exempt, as they retain the benefit directly without additional paperwork.
The legal framework is established in the Operating Rules of the Public Transportation Service Subsidy Program for Collective Transportation, published in the Official Gazette of the Government of the State of Querétaro, “La Sombra de Arteaga,” on January 31.
What documents are required for renewal in the appQro 2026?
The key feature of this call for applications is its simplification. The process no longer requires four documents as before. Those renewing through the app only need two digitally uploaded files:
Once the system validates the information, the user must make a minimum top-up of two pesos to reactivate the preferential fare on their card.
Private schools have an additional requirement: they must have Official Recognition of Studies issued by the Ministry of Education of the Executive Branch or be registered in the official database. This list can be consulted through AMEQ (Mexican Association of Schools). Those included in the registry retain the discount until the agency issues the next call for applications.
How much can you actually save with the Unidos Fare on Qrobús?
The benefit works like this: two pesos for the first trip and zero pesos for transfers within the Qrobús network. The monthly savings are noticeable in any budget. For a student who travels to classes every day, maintaining this discount makes a real difference compared to the regular fare.
AMEQ emphasizes that this is the lowest preferential fare in the country for public transportation. Therefore, renewing the fare is not a minor procedure: it’s the difference between continuing to pay two pesos or returning to the regular fare.
The 2026 registry includes up to 35,300 places for users who provide some service to the community, which includes students from publicly funded Job Training Centers, among other profiles provided for in the bases.
