We start from a presentation of the main theoretical approaches supporting the academic debate about the regulation, trying to analyze its conceptual definition in depth and to define the approach of the analysis. Then, through the use of political economy concepts, such as surplus profit and income, we examine the relationship between regulation and generation of accumulation differentials obtained by the operating companies. The empirical research refers to the case of Buenos Aires metropolitan public transport and shows the behavior of the economic equation defined by the regulation on the basis of data from actual companies in the system. The conclusion is that in strictly regulated urban public transport systems there may exist accumulation differentials originated in unproductive benefits directly generated by the regulation. Since these surplus profits obtained by the companies may be established as income, we propose their conceptualization as statutory income.  El objetivo del trabajo es aportar una reflexión teórica acerca de la reglamentación del autotransporte urbano de pasajeros. Se parte de una presentación de los principales enfoques teóricos que sustentan el debate académico acerca de la reglamentación, procurando profundizar su definición conceptual y definir la perspectiva del análisis. A continuación se examina la relación entre reglamentación y generación de diferenciales de acumulación de las empresas operadoras, utilizando los conceptos de plusganancia y renta de la economía política. La investigación empírica refiere al caso del autotransporte metropolitano de Buenos Aires, y observa el comportamiento de la ecuación económica definida por la reglamentación en base a datos de empresas reales del sistema. Se concluye que en mercados de autotransporte público urbano estrictamente reglamentados pueden existir diferenciales de acumulación, originados en beneficios directamente improductivos generados por la reglamentación. Siendo estas plusganancias empresarias susceptibles de fijarse como rentas, se propone su conceptualización como rentas reglamentarias.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/2847 10.34096/rtt.i15.2847 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/2847/2471 Revista Transporte y Territorio; No. 15 (2016): (julio-Diciembre) - Tres décadas de Geografía del Transporte; 28-40 Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 15 (2016): (julio-Diciembre) - Tres décadas de Geografía del Transporte; 28-40 1852-7175 plusganancias regulación transporte urbano Buenos Aires surplus profit regulation bus transport Buenos Aires Regulation and surplus profit in the urban bus transport.
