Metrobus (Buenos Aires)

The Buenos Aires Metrobus is a 50.5 km (31.4 mi) network of dedicated separated lanes and stations for normal buses that serve the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Designed as a Bus Rapid Transit system, it mixes a few bi-articulated buses with conventional buses. The headway is the same as before the implementation of the system, and it lacks the brand of the network in the buses that use it, maintaining their previous branding as common bus lines with their own numbers. The service operates 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, with 2-4 minute frequencies during the day and 10–15 minutes at night.

Red de Expresos Regionales

Red de Expresos Regionales is a planned mass transit system in Buenos Aires which will connect the main rail terminals of the city through 16 km (9.9 mi) of tunnels with a central terminal. The tunnels will mean that the existing 815 km (506 mi) commuter rail network will be connected, with passengers being able to travel from one part of Greater Buenos Aires and La Plata to the other while only making one change at the new underground central terminal. The project is modelled on the Réseau Express Régional in Paris. It is estimated that after the completion of the project, combined with the current renewal of the commuter rail lines' rolling stock, passenger numbers will double from 1.4 million passengers per day to 3 million.
