Hello, I'm about to head to BA for the first time, can't wait. I'm reaching out to inquire if anyone has a comprehensive guide tailored for English speakers on navigating the city's bus and train systems. I'm particularly interested in details such as where to procure tickets for tourists or those on a short stay, recommended routes, as well as any valuable tips and tricks that seasoned travelers might have picked up along the way.

I greatly appreciate any insights or guidance you can share with me as I gear up for this exciting adventure. Thank you in advance!

Hi!

The FIRST thing you have to do is to buy a SUBE card… Here you have the link of an interactive map where you can find the places where you can buy the SUBE card http://www.tarjetasube.sube.gob.ar/SubeWeb/WebForms/admin/views/mapa-sube.aspx?id=1 choosing the neighborhood, you stating at.

The SUBE card now costs $730 pesos, and then you have to charge credit in almost every “kiosco” you find…. The basic “boleto” for bus cost $56 pesos, and for subte $80 pesos.

You can use the SUBE card with the Subte (subway), Colectivo (bus), and Train (generally use to go outside the city).

As it was said, this youtuber has a lot of information that is great!! And this link will help you a lot for sure!!
