How to get there and travel
Argentina offers modern means of transport: air, sea, river,overland and urban.
The main airlines of the world travel to Argentina arriving, most of them, at the Internacional Ministro Pistarini Airport (located in Ezeiza), connected to the city of Buenos Aires by means of a motorway (35 Km). It is also possible to arrive at the cities of Cordoba and Mendoza by air from some bordering countries. Or even, you can reach Argentina by overland transport from these countries.
To travel by car within our country there exists an important paving railway system perfectly signalled (if you are from abroad you must have international driving license).
Several bus companies work along the whole country reaching, in general, all the cities in comfortable units (some of them are cimatized including colour TV, toilette and hostess service).
There are several airlines that perform domestic flights to the main cities of Argentina, with the possibility of making combinations later on with overland transports to go to other smaller urban centres either by bus, taxis or remisses.
The underground system in Buenos Aires (founded in 1913, was the first subway of Latin America), is one of the quickest ways of travelling within the city. This system currently comprises around 46 km, includes 80 stations and moves more than 250 millon passengers per year. The ticket fare is $ 0,70 and subway services operate from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday throught Saturday and 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Sundays. Tickets or subtepass are purchased in the subway stations.
Within the city of Buenos Aires there are 32.000 taxis. There are painted yellow and black. The exact fare is displayed on an electronical meter that stars al $ 1,12 an adds $ 0,14 for every two hundred meters (two blocks aproximately).
There are many radiotaxis companies. They are ordered by telephone and pick up passengers anywhere. They do not charge extra and they are safer depending on the hour and the place.
The remise is a service similar to the radiotaxi, only the cars have no markings and they calculate the fare based on the distance.
As long as buses are concerned, the tariff is related to the stations travelled and it must be payed by introducing coins (according to the value of your trip) in automatic machines. It is not necessary to hace exact change because the machines return money, but it is necesary to hace coins because the driver does not change bills. You must get on by the front door and get off by the back or central door depending on the bus model. The vehicles are painted in different colours according to the line they belong to, which, by the way, make up more than a hundred.
The train is a good alternative to get out of the metropolitan area. Lines going north depart from Retiro station and lines headed south leave from Constitución station. The Federico Lacroze and Once stations are the starting points for trains headed northwest and southeast respectively.
