【實用旅遊app】Argentina Buenos Aires Subway|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is one of South America's biggest cities with 3 million inhabitants (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) and 12 million in the larger metropolitan area (Gran Buenos Aires). For a city of this size the metro network is still very small although it's by far the oldest subway in South America.

After losing many passengers during the 1980's, the Subte was privatised and is now operated by Metrovías which immediately started refurbishing stations and buying new rolling stock to replace older trains, some of which have been running since the Subte opened.

The total network is approx. 48.3 km (2008) and totally underground.

Línea A: - 8.5 km, 16 stations

The first line of the metro, Line A, was built and initially operated by a private company called Anglo Argentine Tramway Company and opened already in 1913.

Línea B: - 10.9 km, 15 stations

Line B was built by the Anglo's rival Lacroze. Lacroze operated an interurban line from Chacarita to Campo de Mayo, which later became General Urquiza railroad and is now owned by Metrovías. That is one reason why Urquiza is the only railroad in Buenos Aires that has 1435 mm gauge instead of broad gauge. It originally had a catenary but was later changed to third rail and coaches are the same width than those from broad-gauge railroads. Lacroze designed and built Subte Line B to feed their suburban railroad. Since the only other Subte line at the time was a competitor, compatibility wasn't an issue, so Line B cars are wider and they use third rail, while all other lines use catenary.
