Hey there!

The very first thing on your to-do list is getting your hands on a SUBE card. Check out this interactive map https://mapa.buenosaires.gob.ar/comollego/?lat=-34.620000&lng=-58.440000&zl=12&modo=transporte to locate the spots where you can purchase the SUBE card based on your neighborhood.

Currently, the SUBE card is priced at $700 pesos. After acquiring it, you'll need to load credit, which you can conveniently do at almost any "kiosco" you come across. The standard fare for buses is $56 pesos, and for the subway, it's $80 pesos.

Your SUBE card is your golden ticket for the Subte (subway), Colectivo (bus), and even the Train (ideal for venturing outside the city).

anyone actually buy a Sube card recently, and ride the Subte? i have read elsewhere that the physical cards are near-impossible to get anymore

Hi! I have a friend who is traveling in Buenos Aires and he told me that it was difficult to get it in Kioscos, and they recommended him to go to a subway or train station, and he got it in Retiro train station, anyway I was reading in the official SUBE site and now you can order it online and then you can pick it up in a SUBE "point", I leave the link.
