    Yesterday was the subte’s 101st birthday. The infoBA article gives a little of the history of the subte.

    Years ago we took a ride on the A line’s original wooden cars. Today, I think that to see them, you must go to La Noche de los Museos.

    It is actually the 111st anniversary.
    From being on the forefront of transportation to having scabies-infested subway cars. Well done, Argentina!

    I've only ever been on the Subte once or twice and that was enough.

    Well as one patriotic comedian once said, we even invented gravity.

    You aren’t serious, right? What’s not to love about the subte??

    I’ve never been on it.

    And other than once with friends about 35 years ago I’ve never been on a bus either.


    And I avoid taxis.


    Have a think about that!

    As I've probably said before the only time I've been on it I caught a bloke with his hand in my trouser cargo pocket. We just jump in a taxi when in BA.

    I hate taxis. Love the anonymity of the subte.

    And it speeds along underground when traffic on the streets is snarled.

    I like the taxis in BA. There's always one close-by when you need one.

    I agree. The subte is the best way to travel around the city. The bus is ok too.

Thank you for the support!
