| ...but you must then look up the bus line in the back of the book to find out where in that square you need to go to catch the bus. This is where it gets a bit slow because if you don't know the city well, you have to look up the streets in the route map to figure out which one is near your two points of interest. Additionally, you must discern which of the two directions of the bus route is relevant to your trip. Since there are mostly one-way streets in Buenos Aires, the routes are pretty different in the two directions!
I confess I got a little homesick for my SF Muni bus map that has the routes printed over the streets on the map. That approach just isn't feasible since there are so many bus lines. I wasn't too homesick for SF Muni itself, though, because the bus service in Buenos Aires was way better than SF Muni. The bus companies are privately owned, and there are many of them. The buses come frequently. The subway closes at 10pm, so a lot of people rely on buses at night. I feel like once I actually found the bus stop, buses would arrive very quickly. It was finding the right bus to take and finding the bus stop that was a bit tricky... |
