Public Transportation in Buenos Aires May 23, 2008
Well, the public transportation in Buenos Aires is good. You can either take a taxi, the metro or catch a bus.

Taxis: they are not expensive. Everything will depend on how long the ride takes. They are safe and most of the taxi drivers are friendly.

Metro: well known as "Subte", there are 5 big lines which can drive you to different parts of the city. It's cheap and the best thing is that you avoid the traffic. This is the oldest Metro in South America and line D is such a beauty. All made of wood.

Bus: know as "colectivos". There are different lines, which will drive you almost everywhere. But you can only pay them with coins. So save your change for them. There are bus stops, so it's easy to catch them.

You will need Pesos (local currency) for all of them.

The locals in BA love to help.  Many times on the underground or catching buses we have been fairly confident we know where we are going, but have our street map in our hands.  Invariably a local will stop and take us under their wing and shepherd us on to the train or bus.


Transport is cheap.  Buses are 80 centemos and you must have coin to put in the ticket machine situated behind the driver.  The underground is even cheaper at 70 centemos and that ticket seems to be useable all day on any line.
