    Buses are a good way of transportation.
    You can buy a "guia T" at any news paper's kiosco. I think it costs $3 (argentinian peso => less than Usd 1). I bought mine at Belgrano C train station on may 2006.
    You must know that you can pay only with coins, the machine gives u change from coins but notes are not accepted at all. If you don't have coins, the bus driver will ask you to go down...
    The average cost of a ticket is $0,80.

    The avenues and streets of Buenos Aires are very long ones, long distances everytime you need to do something in the city, that is why the subway system is so important, but there are lots of buses in town, and they are very useful when you have to use short distances, and above all after 10pm when there is no subway!

    this is my brother Mariano and his girlfriend Luli, we were going to his Father's House for s typical argentinean barbecue.

    Buses arround Buenos Aires: Collectivos, efficient way to see B's A's

    I heard that there are over 146 different bus lines (collectivos) in Buenos Aires and it is quite evident as I saw so many different numbers that I felt confused and dizzy at times.

    We actually used the collectivos more than I usually use when visiting a city as Ferni was sick for most of this trip. He had gotten a terrible cold and was quite exhausted from the heat most of the time, so we would hop on a collectivo.

    Because there are so many different collectivo lines that it doesn't matter where in Buenos Aires you are going, the collectivo will get you there. Another added advantage is that the collectivos run all night where the subte runs until 11:00 pm.

    When you board the collectivo let the driver know your destination and he will give you the price of the ride, You then put your change in the machine and it will print out a receipt. Don't worry if you don't have exact change, the machine will give you the difference.

    Please also note that each line has its own stop, which it may share with another line and you will also find that there may be many stops in one street, so make sure to check that the stop you are waiting in has the colletivo line you want.

    I noticed that within the city the average price was about $1.20 (un peso venti centavos). (11/08)

    Did you know where was created the bus? Yes, it was invented in Argentina!.
    The bus is for that places where the subte doesn´t go. It is quite safe but not to comfortable. Wherever you want to go, there´s a bus that brings you near. You can pay ONLY with coins! ($0.80 inside the city)

    City buses are the cheapest form of around-town transport in areas the metro does not serve.

    Buses arround Buenos Aires: Colectivos (City buses)
  • By MDC6 on April 25, 2005

  • Although cabs can be cheap, I HIGHLY reccommend taking buses to explore. This way, you can get to travel the same way porteños do. It's a great way to see areas of the city you might otherwise miss. Even if you get lost, someone will be able to help you get where you need to go. Some things to take into consideration: Make sure you flag the bus down, even though you're standing at a stop. Most stops service more than one bus route, and if a bus comes by a stop and sees that no one is raising their hands, IT WILL NOT STOP (unless of course, someone ON the bus is getting off at that stop). If you're not sure where to get off, ask the bus driver (who may or may not be helpful).

    At first, the system of finding where to get on and where to get off seems confusing. Pick up a "Guia Lumi" at a kiosco, and that will help. And don't be afraid to ask people if they know which bus line will take you where you want to go.

  • Before you go, get familiar with the city map a little bit. When you get there, buy a "Guia-T" and take the bus everywhere: it's the best way to see the city and the people.

  • Great and very inexpensive way to get around B.A. Make sure to buy a "Guia T" to get yourself oriented. WARNING: As of january 2008, you must have coins (1 peso) to board the bus. Small change is hard to come by, so save your 1 pesos and other change if you plan on riding the bus.

  • If you are in downtown, and you want to go to La Boca, Take a bus! is really easy and cheap... You have to take the 152 bus, ths bus pass through Santa Fe (near Italia Square), or if you are near San Martin square you can take it at Alem Av. , its route finished just one block from Caminito....only for $0.75 ARG !!!
    You will save a lot of money....a taxi go and back to the center is U$5 approx.
