Yes, true. It used to be probably the best line. It actually improved a lot during the Menem years when the trains were frequent, ran on time and were reliable. The trains have really been trashed in the last couple of years. I've also noticed that the passengers seem a lot poorer - maybe a lot of immigrants. Fewer middle / professional people seem to be riding the line. It's a pathetic comment on the Kirchner administration that this line that travels through densely populated, generally prosperous areas has seriously DETERIORATED despite the stated interest of the Kirchners in reviving the railways.
