Retiro, the main trasportation hub has three train lines, the long distance bus station, and is the terminus of one metro line to the suburbs as well as most city buses.

After a day of hard pouring rain, I though I would take a bus trip to a San Antonio de Areco, a picturesque town in the pampas two hours away. I took the metro to the train station and walked to the long distance bus station where I found there were 250 ticket counters (each bus is a separate company) and 75 bus queues. I managed to get to the correct purchase counter but worried about the return and did not go.
