She likes Newman too:)
[QUOTE=Chanel]I think the only decent means of public transport in BA is the subway. Buses, you should just forget about.
Subways work well and you can travel almost like a human being unless you take it at the rush hour. Then, it's like cattle or sardines. Oh, and you can only pray someone doesn't decide to commit suicide.[/QUOTE]A shocking opinion! I like the bus system here. Cheap, even at $1.10, and they will get you anywhere you want to go. No offense to the subte, but sometimes with the subte, you can't get there from here. I think Chanel likes the subte because she's a Seinfeld fan. Or not.

You got me!
DAMNNN You got me! I love Seinfeld! I haven't yet tried to read TV Guide in it but I might. I'm sorry I've been too harsh on public transport in BA, but this is because I used it more than I would have wanted to when I was a language teacher, going from one company to the other, it was hectic! When I changed my job, I promised myself naver to take a bondi again.
BTW there's a very funny song by an Argentine band called "Asado Violento". The song's name is "Two bondis" and it describes the worries of a guy in love with a girl in Gran Buenos Aires who has to take two bondis to see her. It's in English:

I take the buses all the time in BA, unless I am going to a place near a train stop. When I go to Plaza Serrano, the 39-3 bus take me right to the Plaza. If I where to take the train to Plaza Italia, I would have to walk 10 blocks south, more or less to get to Plaza Serrano. Same thing is true with a few other places. Most of the time I get a seat, unless I go during rush hour.
For someone new, just buy one of those "guiat" books they sell at all the news stands, and learn to read it. After that you should be able to take buses without a problem.
If your visiting BA for week, taxi might be ok, but if your visiting for a while and have time, buses can save you allot of money on taxis.
