Week highlights

Highlights of the week include my SUBE card, tango and salsa lessons, and very nice maps of bus routes.

The current president began a system where all public transportation was to accept a single form of payment (as well as cash). That is to say, with a SUBE card (sistema unico de boleto electronico, neat acroynm for 'going up') one can ride the colectivos (buses), subte (underground metro), and the above ground trains. As I take the bus at least twice a day I had to make sure I had change because the buses don't except bills, which was kind of inconvenient. But now with my handy dandy SUBE card, which I got at the post office, I can just put money on the card and swipe my card to board all types of public transportation. Sweet.


More on everything else, have to get up early for a field trip tomorrow!

  2. When you initially mentioned the sube card, I thought it was a good name, but it's an acronym too......very clever.
