Getting Around Tucumán
Local transportation and navigation tips
Taxis are fairly cheap and a good bet for foreigners who don't know the public transportation's routes or schedules. That said, the city buses are fairly simple (some 40 routes) and as there are not very many of them, fairly easy to use. There is a city-wide flat fare (routes 1-19) that is higher in the metropolitan area (routes 100-141).
