Tramways of Buenos Aires
Almost a century ago, the tramways were the main massive transportation system of Buenos Aires, within the subway and the rail system. Like in the case of the United States, the public buses and the cars took the place of the tramways entirely. With the exception of the “Premetro” (who connects the “E” Line of the subway and the neighborhoods of Lugano and Soldati), the tramways completely dissapeared from the streets of Buenos Aires. In some streets, like the Las Heras Avenue, you may see the old tracks of the tramways, but they were mostly putted under the new paving works of the last half of the 20th century. But in Caballito, a very particular neighborhood of the west of the city, the Asociación de Amigos del Tranvía (translated: “Friends of the Tramway Asociation”) restored some of the old tramways and revitalized one of the circuits of the neighborhood, even passing trough the Rivadavia Avenue, the most traditional avenue in Buenos Aires and probably Argentina.
