I assume you live there. Do you think it's already the effect of Milei's policies or does it have other causes?

Yes, the new government diminished subsidies and price controls. Bus rides in Buenos Aires (which are heavily subisidized) went from ARS 25 (USD 0.02, ) to ARS 260 (USD 0,25) and gas went up from USD 0,25/litre to USD 0,80/litre. So everything is still dirt cheap af but not as much as before. Compare that to São Paulo's R$4.4 (usd 0,9) bus rides and R$5.75/L (usd 1.15) gas prices.
