How
to move
The
city possesses a great quantity of line bus (colectivo), defined by
a number, that connect all the points of the city. The price of the
ticket inside the limits of the city (Capital) it is about the 30 cents
(US), and it is increased when passing the Great Buenos Aires, when
the tariff section changes. In the Great Buenos Aires, when having several
tariff section changes in the steps for the different municipalities,
the companies of transport that don't have too much concern for the
interests of their passengers, take advantage of this to charge rates
risen in short distances, always harming people of few resources. In
the last times the state demanded to the companies the change of its
vehicles for other surer ones, as those of low floor, and the placement
of tickets machines, reason why one person only can travel with currencies.

several jams, but however they are the best form of seeing the city
