More details about the public transportation in BA. Subway (Subte short of "subterráneo" (below earth surface). They are six lineas, signaled by letters (A, B, C, D, E and H) and also colours (A=light blue, B =red, C=blue, D=green, E: violet, H=yellow). Ther is a fixed tariff for a trip no matters where you get on and where you get off. As the video states, there are some stations of the old lines where each direction is separated. In the graphics of the line the stations with a line crossing the circle means that the have central platform, so there you may change directions. Train: there are different tariffs according to distance. To be able to calculate the SUBE card must be presentend in the machines where you get on the train and then again at the station where you get off. There are seven train stations with different names. Mitre: Biggest station in Retiro, most near Libertador Avenue, Belgrano Norte, a smaller station next to Mitre Station and San Martín, the smaller and simpler station next to Belgrano. Beside San Martin station you have the main long distance bus terminal for trips to different cities of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia. Mitre has a restored station which is very nice to visit. Then you have Urquiza line in Federico Lacroze Station, Sarmiento in Once de Septiembre Station. And Roca in Constitución Sation, with a beautiful big central station at the south end of 9 de Julio Avenue and is the train for the south suburbs of the city, and also Mar del Plata. The last station is now temporary for the Belgrano Sur in Nueva Pompeya while an extension is built up to Constitución Station. Buses: they only stop at their stops (in some countries there are no stopes an the bus stops wherever you signal to get on it. There is a rule not quite used that after 22:00 (10PM) they should stop at every corner and all day when its raining, but it doesn't happen. Usually the stops are separated by two or three blocks. In some places the stops have no official sign and you must ask bystanders or find notices fixed to trees or poles with the number of the line. There are lines that have branches, may be not all buses of that line take you to your destination. Google maps uses letters to warn you that there are different routes, but the buses don't use that identification, invented by Google, instead they have notices behind the right windsheild informing which route they fill follow. A good app to have in your phone is "BA Como Llego" made by the Government of the City. If you give an address it will give you all the options you may have to arrive to that place from your current position or giving a starting address. Sometimes you may have 10 different optiones with bus, subway and train combined. If you use the SUBE in different buses in less than two hours you pay half de tariff on the second payment and 70% discount on the third. Subway services are limited in time starting around 06:00 in the morning and closing at 23:00 or even earlier. Instead, buses go all night with less frequency but never less than one bus every half hour. Buenos Aires has many "folkloric events" with demonstrations, protests and marches, so many times the buses must choose an alternative route to continue their circuit. Ask for help to other passengers to know where is best to get off the bus to arrive with the minimum walking distance. Bus drivers are not very educated people and probably they don't know a word of English. And remember that Argentine Spanish has quite a few of special words and ways of speaking. More prepared people will be able to replace those words with more "castizas" words, more traditional and standard from the Spanish Castilian.
BA transportation rules: 1. To stop the bus (collective) you must raise your arm. The bus driver is always "right", because crazy people never argue with whoever drives, it is dangerous for a passenger to be right. 2. The buses in Buenos Aires run every 3 minutes. 3. In all parts of the world, drivers can change their route due to a traffic disturbance. 4. If a train or Subway does not work your payment box, you enter for free. 5. If you protest about this country, you are already a citizen of Argentina. Welcome!!!😂
4- If you located in the PROVINCE of Buenos Aires, you can travel in train. Apart from the fact that there are people who work that you see that you pay (we called name 'molineteros'). If it's not there, you go through a side door for free
¿ Cuál será el objetivo de hablar mal o de mentir respecto a ciertas cosas de un país? ¿Crear polémica y lograr más vistas? La verdad, sorprendido como los extranjeros ponen más el acento en las cosas malas que en las cosas buenas de Argentina. Y muchas, diciendo lo que no es cierto. El "Argentina" final, me dio bronca. Lo dice con sarcasmo porque seguramente, algún porteño pelotudo le enseñó la forma. ¿le reultará gracioso,lo sentirá así? No debería decirlo de ese modo,creo,por respeto. El cartel, además dice "En mantenimiento" No se, ya hasta me está agarrando bronca.
@@fabiangonzallezcapo6060 No te enrosques, creo que es simplemente el proceso de acostumbramiento. Alguna gente lo vive de forma positiva, a otros les cuesta y necesitan quejarse asi para hacer el proceso mental de aceptar que ahora viven en otro lado, depende de cuan positivo sea uno en general. Ademas, muchos Rusos han dejado Rusia forzados por la guerra y si bien es verdad que Argentina es uno de los unicos paises que les ha abierto las puertas y no es un "agujero del demonio", debe de ser super dificil aceptar mentalmente el cambio forzado. En el caso de los extranjeros que vienen de vacaciones y solo publican cosas malas, ahi si creo que no tienen excusa ni perdon, al igual que ese Argentino-Americano que anda haciendo videos solo de las villas de emergencia y los problemas de inseguridad, cuando EE.UU. es igualmente peligroso que Argentina, si uno mira las estadisticas. Yo vivo en USA, por cuestiones de trabajo y me doy cuenta que, como los Argentinos comparan el nivel de inseguridad solo con el de paises como Suecia o Alemania (donde tambien vivi), tienden a exagerar mucho los problemas y no se dan cuenta que, la comparacion pertinente, es a nivel mundial y en esa escala, estamos muuuuuuuuuy arriba del promedio. No digo que no se puedan mejorar las cosas, hace 30 años era un pais todavia mas seguro, pero no es de ninguna manera un mal lugar para vivir. En todo caso, como te decia, no te enorsques con estas cosas, la gente ignorante y mentirosa suele querer tener la voz mas fuerte, pero la mayoria de las personas con las que me he cruzado que han viajado o vivido en Argentina, tienen una opinion positiva respecto de casi todo, menos la impuntualidad y la economia mega-fluctuante.

Sometimes, to reload your Sube can be an oddisey, during daytime you have more options where to reload it; I work at night and sometimes I have to walk 30/40 blocks to find a 24/7 kiosco wich system hasn't crashed.
En realidad es mentira que cambian el recorrido por querer, todos los colectivos de buenos aires cuenta con GPS el cual es mirado por las empresas, si el colectivo cambia de ruta el chófer se queda sin trabajar, siempre que cambian de ruta es porqué algo paso ya sea accidente o corte, lo que sea y cuando pasa eso el chófer cambia el recorrido.
Many lies here: 1-the public bus no change your route except for specific situations in the street 2-the time between one and the other bus is five or eight minutes
Buenos aires tiene 17 millones de habitantes....desde mi punto de vista es bastnte bueno en general el transporte
Such a big pleasure to hear familiar voices in different language 🙂

El subte se inauguró en Buenos Aires en 1913 o sea hace 109 años.
El primer subte del hemisferio sur

Those waiting times might be the case in the metrobus of CABA, not for suburban conurbano or other areas
Busking on trains should be banned. Some of us just wish to travel in peace.
So.. so.. so 😂
