 | Buenos Aires Subway = Subte Reviews | 1 - 10 of 53 |  |
Buenos Aires has 5 main subway lanes ..really crowded at rush hours and recall a speciall eye to your belongs....The most dangerous stations after sunset are Constitucion so dark outside and amidst a park really suggestable to walk alone with no clear destination..Also retiro is not a good place...who knows what could expect there !
The green line goes up to the more posh neighbourhoods in the city where all is quiet and no problem could be report..red and light blue as well...
Move inside the subway is easy and cheap ...each ticket costs just 0.70 centavos so its nothing coverting it in euros and all the conexions are well indicated on the walls
All the routes starts from Plaza de mayo or surroundings so its a good point for those who are lost at the first moment...you know that if you take the subway in a wrong direction at last you will be in the original point ...plaza de mayo
Besides into the wagon a voice and a scroll screen shows the next station and connexions Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The Subte is the best way to travel quicky from one place to another in Buenos Aires.
The network counts five lines : A, B, C, D and E going into all directions and at their beginning building a frame around the micro-centro of the city. The frequency is about 4-5 minutes all day long.
The subte is thus very practical but is interesting also for other aspects!
The linea A and C have kept their old wagons from the beginning of the century (respectively 1913 and 1930) with wooden seats and warm little lights!
The decoration of the walls is also exceptionnal : all stations have mosaic peintures with different topics : tango dancers, the city, the working portenos,...
And last but not least, the metro stations are equiped with TV diffusing infos, videos clips and advertising!
The only problem is that there are no metros anymore after 11pm... Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Subways here are known as "Subte", and as mentioned in a few of my other tips, it's a great way of getting around. Each subway line is color coded, and the picture shows the green line stop at Bulnes. Bulnes is where you will find the Alto Palermo Shopping Center, in the district of Palermo. The green line is the handiest of them all. Get off at Tribunales for the Colon Theatre, get off at Scalabrini Ortiz for the parks of palermo (Japanese Garden, Botanical Garden, Rose Garden, etc) Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

After our Saturday night at Cafe Tortini, we were a bit late getting underway on Sunday morning. It was about 11 AM by the time we had finished breakfast and began the 5-block walk down Av. Callao to the 'Callao' station of the 'D' subway line (shown as Green on the city map). We were headed a fair distance this morning, for the area of magnificent parks near the Botanical Gardens, Zoo and also not far from Jorge Newbery Airport.
As Lonely Planet says, this British-designed subway system is the oldest in South America, having begun operations in 1913. The 'A' line is particularly antique and worth a look, but we did not get a chance to use it. I was planning to do so when we returned to the city on our last day but, because they were having rotating labour strikes, I decided to give it a miss. At a ticket price of US$0.70 each, this is the way to go if you want to save money! The 'D' line is equipped with modern and clean cars and it whisked us along quite nicely.
When we were purchasing our tickets, a local Doctor of French/Italian decent came over to give us a few clues. We ended up having a nice conversation with him in broken French as we stood in the subway carriage until we reached our stop at Scalabrini/Ortez streets.
It was a bit of surprise as we emerged from our underground world to see the wet streets and gutters running with water. The first sign of rain we had seen since arriving in the city 3 days earlier! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Although the old 'A' subway (Subte) line offers the most romantic trip, with it's tiled stations and wooden trains, we were quite happy with the decorations in the more modern 'D' line.
Here, at the Scalbrini/Ortez station, we were treated to this very nice fresco as we emerged from the train! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The Argentine subte consists of only 5 lines, not enough to go everywhere in this city but good enough to go to the main places a tourist will want to see...
If you re going downtown this is the fastest and more efficient way to get there.
Its really cheap 0.70cents (Argetnine cents) and you can travel as long distances as you wish, even changing from line to line but its only one journey, once you ve left the underground world and gone u to the surface, you ll need a new ticket to start travelling again.
The subte pass is just to avoid buying a ticket every time you want to travel, so you can put 21 pesos in your subte pass and then you ll be able to do 30 trips. But theres no unlimited pass yet, so the card will be worth the amount you want to pay for the number of trips you ll be doing. The only difference is you re paying for it in advance.
Its really hot in summer, so try to avoid it. Leave a Comment

There are 5 lines in Buenos Aires: A, B, C, D and E. It will take you to almost every place in downtown and surrounding areas. The cost is 0.70 cents (pesos). There are signs everywhere, so you can't get lost.
The service is quite good, although kind of hot in the warm seasons. Click on the link below to see a map of it. Leave a Comment

Known as the subte, the Buenos Aires Metro is an inexpensive and easy way to get around town, although it doesn't reach every corner of the city. This is probably because it opened in 1913 and the city has sprawled a lot in the intervening years. They are, however, working on some new lines. Some of the stations are decorated with interesting murals and all of them have adequate information which makes it easy to figure out the system.
Tokens ( fichas ) are .70 pesos one way. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
