Another way to travel is to take public buses, called "colectivos". This is more complicated for a tourist as there are many lines, the same bus line can use different routes and if you don't pay attention to the sign in the lower left corner of the windshield detailing your route, you may be in for a surprise. To travel by bus or metro (subway) in Buenos Aires, you will need to obtain a reloadable SUBE travel card and load it with credit. SUBE cards are available at secondary stations, at the eight Tourist Assistance Centers and at many "kioskos" (corner shops selling confectionery and tobacco products) throughout the city. Cards can be loaded with credit at all secondary stations, national lottery outlets, and some kiosks with automated terminals. To find your nearest point of sale, the website: SUBE has a map of SUBE providers.
Please note that SUBE can be used on all public buses, as well as on the metro and trains.
Every time you take the bus, the system tells you how many pesos are left. The service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the frequency varies from 3 to 40 minutes, depending on the time of day, the bus line, and whether it is on weekdays or weekends. As of June 2023, the ticket costs between ARS $40.00 and $50.00. Tell the bus driver where you are going (indicate the nearest intersection to where you want to get off) and he will select the correct fare. The "Metrobus" is a bus rapid transit system that uses dedicated bus lanes to reduce travel times on several of the city's main arteries. Several Metrobus stops have free WiFi access.
