Tips for using the Subte
 - The Subte is the cheapest mode of transport in all Buenos Aires, at AR$0.70 a ride it can’t be beaten for value. - It usually runs from around 6am until 10.00-10.30pm. - The Subte is relatively safe. (We always felt safe using it and we saw or heard of no problems). - The Subte trains run fairly regularly and incredibly for Argentina, they’re prompt. The Argentineans aren’t good timekeepers and it’s not uncommon for things to run very late! Not so, for the Subte. - The Subte has 5 lines numbered A-E and it can take a while to get use to them. Strangely, the system doesn’t serve Recoleta, San Telmo or large parts of Palermo so with just a few days to explore this city, taxis are a much more convenient mode of transport. - Make sure you have a Buenos Aires Subte map showing the city and the Subte system concealed about your person – it is a great reference guide and is very easy to use. - Be careful of your belongings - a busy train can make tourists easy pickings for pick pockets. Keep your bags in sight and in front of you at all times. - Don’t be alarmed by the many vendors who wander up and down the train trying to sell everything from lighters to key rings. They are quite safe and quickly move on when they realize you don’t want to buy what’s on offer. They may place objects on your knee, just leave them there or hand them back when they come around to collect them. If you need to get off the train, leave the object on your seat. - The Subte is nice and quiet during the day. At rush hour it’s really crowded and best avoided, especially if you have luggage or bags.
