Getting to Ezeiza airport on the cheap

Taking a cab ($90), remis ($80) or even the Manuel Tienda Leon bus ($40) to Ezeiza International Airport can really add up. However, if you have more time than money you can easily take the bus to Ezeiza. I think the quickest travel combination may be to take the train + bus #86.

How to do it:

1. Train from Once (Linea Sarmiento) it´s the line that goes Once-Moreno. You can also get on the train in Caballito, Flores or Floresta if that is closer for you. Get off at the Liniers stop.

2. When exiting train station at Liniers take the #86 on Rivadavia and get off at the Airport (last stop).

Total Cost: $3 pesos maximum!

Another option is to take the #86 for the whole journey. The 86 goes from La Boca all the way to Ezeiza. You can get on at Avenida de Mayo and Peru, the 86 then follows Av. Rivadavia until leaving Capital Federal in Liniers.

Obviously, it is highly recommended to travel with a Guia T when traveling outside the city on public transportation. The large Guia T of the province is really nice to have too. Also, make sure you allow enough time for this journey -- I would guess at least 1.5 hours to get from the Centro to Ezeiza on public transportation.

Suerte!
