Public transport in Argentina (by Antonella)

There are different ways of traveling in Argentina. The most used is the public transport because workers, and people in general think this way is cheaper and in some cases, such as subways and trains, faster. There are also buses, which were used to be paid with coins but there was a problem with them and started to disappear, so it was difficult to find the change to travel. Due to that problem, the government created a new system that includes a rechargeable card called SUBE. This can be used in trains, subways and buses.

In addition to this, there are some problems too. The public transport in general, is in a very bad condition. Why? Because the government doesn't invest money in them, meaning that they are old and work with difficulties. Another reason is that people throw rubbish and break it. Furthermore, in the rush hours there are more people who travel in them than they can take, which causes delays and accidents.

Now, thinking about the pros and cons of  public transport, there are some important things to solve, but in my opinion we don't have to overlook the new system that has been installed on them, which is a good way to start.
