Good to Know
- Buses require a SUBE card for payment; cash is no longer accepted on most routes. Card registration is recommended to protect credit balance and access fare discounts.
- Colectivo buses operate frequently but are often very crowded, especially during peak hours. Multiple bus operators run parallel routes on the same streets.
- Driving is not recommended in the historic city center due to narrow, confusing streets and vehicle restrictions. Use public parking outside the old town.
- Cycling infrastructure is limited and poorly maintained; inner-city routes only cover main avenues in Nueva Córdoba and Centro areas. Bicycle theft is a concern.
- Uber and taxis both available 24/7. Taxi wait times are typically instant when hailing on street, while Uber may take 5-10 minutes to arrive.
- Rush hour congestion occurs 8-9:30 am and 6-7:30 pm on weekdays. Avoid these times if possible.
