Collectivo Map Website With Routes Highlighted
Hey Gang,
Here's a useful web link to maps of BA with colored highlights of individual colectivo routes. The map can be manipulated for scale and I find it quite useful:

Since the "ida" and "regreso" routes are shown on each map, I usually have a guia handy to determine the direction of the lines. For example, on the 152 line the "ida" runs along Marcelo de Alvear while the "regreso" along Santa Fe in the Barrio Norte area. When looking at the colored map, zoom in on this area of the route to determine the direction of each colored route. In this case ida would be the red line while regreso would be the blue. If you were headed to Palermo from MC, in this case use the red line to see where in Palermo the 152 would take you.
I'd be interested if this relationship is consistent (i.e. red line always "ida").
Hope this helps,
Tim

'Sube' subway/bus card a must
During rush hour gridlock the subway is the only way to get around quick, although usually crowded. Most 24 hr kiosks, including the one near AA departures at EZE have ATM like machines where you can charge up your card, as well as adding cellular minutes. Cards good for all local buses as well as the subway. Even for the language challenged it's easy to use, just tell the driver where you're going and put the card flat on the reader. Can pick up a copy of GUIA-T for 25p at any newstand which details the bus lines by location ([URL]www.guiat-digital.com.ar[/URL]).
This is easier than Guia-T

Busses, trains, subways.
