    Colectivos! Best info, changes, reasons, etc

    The 29 doesn't pick up anyone on San Juan because they have to make a left turn on Paseo Colon. Then 5 blocks to the stop, for a total of 12 blocks. The 126 got confused and turned on 9 de Julio instead of Paseo Colon. An unexpected 5 block walk instead of across the street. The 34 bus comes...

    Colectivos! Best info, changes, reasons, etc

    The official press release said it was to reduce noise in the neighborhood. But I'm not sure if the neighbors are so pleased with quiet over lack of service.

    Colectivos! Best info, changes, reasons, etc

    I'm about to be driven crazy with the recent changes to the colectivos. Someone has decided that there should be no buses in San Telmo anymore, so we have to walk 3 or 4 blocks now. None of my apps are very good at keeping up with the information. Moovit is best, but even the official sites have...

    Has anyone had any luck getting their Covid test results from La Rural?

    Today I went back to La Rural, and they had no record of my test. They offered to test me again, which I accepted, and let me wait for the results. Positive, unfortunately, but it would have been better to get that news last Friday. If you are asymptomatic for 10 days you can fly with a...

    Has anyone had any luck getting their Covid test results from La Rural?

    I had a COVID test Friday, they took my passport number, phone number , etc, and told me to get my results by texting Recibido Test to Whatsapp 1150500147. I have every day, but no answer. The City site requires a DNI or the bot won't talk to me. Any suggestions?

    Covid test in BA to fly to US

    Had mine at La Rural, which was free. Bad news, it's been 15 hours and I haven't gotten the results even though they promised them in 6 hours. I tried getting them through the city site, but they want a DNI, won't accept a passport number. They claim they will send me the results by Whatsapp...

    When was the last time Argentina was expensive?

    The first time I went in 1999 it was 1:1, and things were fairly expensive, I learned to use the bus rather than a taxi, a habit that I have maintained even through the ensuing years when taxis are relatively cheap.

    Dollars in Uruguay?

    Can you use dollars in Colonia? We are only going to be there one afternoon and would love to not have to own too much Uruguayan money. ARS is bad enough.
