Last week, a modern new subway (“subte”) was opened to the public in Buenos Aires, to replace the city’s old subway wagons of the historic A line, that was closed down during the summer for maintenance.

Although the beautifuld old wagons with their wooden seating, dim lights and manually operated doors will be missed by some, most people will be happy with the new wagons as they are are air-conditioned. Again, tourist will be able to stop and visit some of the city’s important sites such as Plaza de Mayo and the Casa Rosada, Casa de la Cultura , Café Tortoni and 36 Billares and Parque Centenario.

The stations of the A-line have been decorated by some of Buenos Aires most important street artists such as Triángulo Dorado, Martín Ron Murales, and Run Don’t Walk.
