One of the most common ways of traveling in Buenos Aires is by bus. When you want to take the bus, just search for the bus stop and place yourself in line to wait until the bus arrives. When you see that the bus (recognizing the number or the color) which you want to take is coming, put up your hand as a sign to stop the bus. In the meantime, search for your so carefully saved coins (lately coins are very rare…..), tell the bus driver how much you are going to pay (90 cents , 1 pesos or 1,40 ) and drop your coins with a smooth rhythm in the ticket machine. If you don’t know what the amount to pay should be, tell the driver where you want to get out, don’t forget to give the street number (the block number for example at 1300) or a crossing street, because some of the streets are crossing half of Buenos Aires city.
Enjoy your trip!
