BA Adventures - Loft Migueletes Edition

Most Porteños do not have cars. They move around using taxis. Uber is not so common in this city. Subways and buses are also good and cheap ways to travel from neighborhood to neighborhood. To use them you need to buy a refillable “sube” card. You get them at subway & train stations, kiosks and malls. Sube cards are inexpensive. They let you use all public transport in the city. With them you can also pay tolls in some freeways. Close to our loft we have a train station called “Lisandro de la Torre” which is one stop away from the Retiro terminal. Retiro terminal is just 10 minutes away
