@enbits what will happen to the Sube card? Will that still be used? It was always a hassle for tourists to deal with that Sube card. So now I guess it will go away?City government expands payment options for Subte metro service
Buenos Aires City government announces multi-payment system for that Subte underground and Pre-metro rail services, allowing users to pay fares with mobile phones, debit and credit cards.
Who knows. I've been in London for the past two weeks and they have a similar thing to a Sube card, plus tickets plus Cards and Phone. Most probably the same thing will happen in BA: The Sube card will still exist and will be cheaper than paying with credit / debit cards.
Yeah it will all co-exist. Just discounts for Sube card. This will make it very easy for tourists. I never understood why they didn't do this sooner. They will have to improve with technology across all businesses and industries. The local companies are going to get killed if they don't innovate!
In Paris they don't support cards and phones, so even on some first world countries it hasn't been adopted yet.
My friends there said the same thing that it wasn't working well. They tried a few times and it doesn't work both on their phones and also their cards. It will probably take time to work out the kinks.
