Subways

A cheap and easy way to get around the major parts of Buenos Aires is by the subway system. One-way fares cost 0.70 centavos and allow you to go any distance as long as you don't leave the exit stands. The A line can be quite an adventure in itself. This is the oldest line and many of the trains are very old and made out of wood. A flashback of a ride at an adventure park might come to mind by clanking, swaying, and dank tunnels. Like on the buses, morning and afternoon rush hours bring jam-packed trains that can be somewhat uncomfortable. Mind your belongings if you do travel at this time or any other time.

All of the lines lead back to the central parts of downtown so this makes exploration easy. On weekdays most lines offer trains about every 5 minutes apart. On weekends expect a train every 7-10 minutes.

Some lines only have a few stations where you can take a tunnel to the other side if you miss a stop while many of the newer lines have center isles to access both directions. If you do miss a stop and cannot cross sides without exiting the station and crossing the street, you can most likely smooth talk an attendant to letting you cross without having to pay again. To save time and trouble keep an eye on the stations you stop at. Most cars have maps with the current layout of that line's stations.
