Posts: 21subte stations in google maps?
Is there an online map site that shows streets and intersections (like google maps/google earth, wikimaps, etc) that has a map of ba with the subte stations marked? Or maybe an online version of the pocket guia that shows the collectivos as well?
Best substitute so far is the pdf file that can be download at

Posts: 3510There's no discount for the 2, 5, or 10 trip tickets but I usually buy a 10 tripper whenever it's not busy. Definitely packed at rush hour, especially the D line.

Posts: 62Bought a 10 trip ticket at the window. Didn't catch what it cost. 1 trip is advertised for 90 centavos. I handed the teller a 10 peso note and received change and 2 tickets good for 5 trips each. When you run it through the turnstile, it will come back up.
It gets packed. This was during rush hour.

It has a subway map along with every colectivo route on the city. Get the big one 10 pesos and it's also a great city map. Indespensible for both public transportation riders and taxi people. For the Taxi people its a great way to know about where your going before you leave so you know if the Tachero is taking you out of your way.

Posts: 286Hi,
There is an interactive subway map at the official subway site (http://www.subte.com.ar/contenido/home.asp ):
http://mapas.metrovias.com.ar/subte/.../recorrido.asp
Unfortunately, I believe that the site is only available in Spanish (at present at least , if I am not mistaken) The map, however, is self-explanatory.
The official timetable is here:

All the best

Posts: 217I used the Subte from Belgrano (Juramento) into the city every day and back. Easy way to get around.
Much cheaper than taxis (25 cents USD vs 5-7 USD for taxi every time)
After my 10 rides, that saves me about 50 to 70 USD for chicas.
Observations on the D line since I cannot comment on the other lines.
Nice stations, but no A / C in the subway cars. A long ride can turn into a sweaty one if the train is packed as in rush hour.
I had a "date " with a Platynum girl one night, and the fucking D line died on 3/22 at rush hour. Try to get a fucking taxi back at this time to Belgrano.
I made it finally with the help of Mr Magoo (my taxi-driver) He was constantly consulting a map in his car with no interior lights.

Unfortunately, most BA pictures avalable from the early XX century are those showing the upside of the city. Those pictures showing frantic living conditions in slums are rarely published.
Export of crops provided very high income to Argentina, especially during WWI, so many immigrants were enticed by opportunities there. Most of them came back after these opportunuties vanished with the gread depression of the 1930s.
Hope this helps,

The Buenos Aires Subte opened in 1913 and is the oldest subway in South America. The "A" line was built first, in 1913, as the antiquity of the train can be clearly seen by simply riding this line; the polar opposite of this is line "D" where some stations were built in the 1990's (estaciones Jose Hernandez and Juramento) and look similar to Washington, DC's metro. I think the fact that a subway was built here at such an early time (and continues to operate uninterupted to this day) pays tribute to the kind of truly affluent and world class city that Buenos Aires was in the early years of the 20th century.
Suerte,
