Mike’s notes
The Mitre line connects Retiro with the northern side of Buenos Aires and the suburbs beyond it. The Tigre branch follows the river side of the city through Belgrano and San Isidro. The José León Suárez and Bartolomé Mitre branches share tracks out of Retiro before separating in Belgrano.
The northern railway opened from Retiro in the 1860s and later became part of the Central Argentine Railway. It took the Mitre name after nationalization in 1948. The short Tren de la Costa uses part of an older Tigre branch and connects by foot at Bartolomé Mitre.
Use SUBE for the fare. Retiro is large enough that the walk from the Subte or another railway concourse takes longer than the map suggests. Check current notices for the outer diesel branches because construction can shorten or interrupt those services.
The three main branches use modern air-conditioned electric trains and get crowded during the commute. Villa Ballester to Zárate and the Victoria corridor use diesel equipment with much thinner service. Wheelchair access and platform gaps vary, especially beyond the electric network.
The Tigre branch works best for Belgrano, Núñez, Vicente López, San Isidro, and Tigre. José León Suárez serves the northwest through Villa Urquiza, while the Bartolomé Mitre branch ends beside the walking transfer to Avenida Maipú on the Tren de la Costa. These branches share the first part of the route, so the platform display matters even when the next train looks identical.
Tap SUBE when entering and again when leaving so the system can charge the correct distance. A paper ticket is available at a higher fare. Bicycles are accepted in the designated area on the electric branches, but the operator excludes the outer Zárate and Capilla del Señor services. Recent track and signaling work has caused substantial weekend changes, so check the app before a time-sensitive trip.
