Mike’s notes
The Urquiza line connects Federico Lacroze with General Lemos through Devoto, Lynch, Martín Coronado, Campo de Mayo, and the northwest suburbs. At Lacroze, follow the signs for the railway rather than the Subte Line B platforms.
The route grew from Federico Lacroze's rural tramway, which began service in the late nineteenth century. The suburban line was rebuilt for electric operation and became part of the General Urquiza Railway after nationalization.
Use SUBE for the fare. The full trip has 23 stops and takes about 50 minutes on the published timetable. Trains are frequent on the core route, but planned works can alter the first and last service times.
Older electric multiple units with opening windows still make up the fleet, so air-conditioning is not consistent and summer rides can be hot. High platforms reduce the step into the train, but wheelchair access to the platform varies by station and some entrances rely on stairs or street-level crossings.
The line runs west from Lacroze through Villa Devoto and the municipalities of San Martín, Tres de Febrero, Hurlingham, and San Miguel. It is a single route with no passenger branches, which makes it easier to understand than the Mitre or Roca networks. Federico Lacroze connects with Subte Line B, but the railway and Subte use separate gates.
Tap SUBE at both ends, or buy a paper ticket at the higher cash fare. General Lemos is being rebuilt while trains continue to operate, with platform arrangements changing around the work. Check Metrovías notices before a first or last train and allow more time when step-free access at Lemos is required.
