The public transport network in Buenos Aires is set to undergo a significant structural change with the integration of Line 99 into Line 106, effective this Thursday. The decision taken by the transportation authority aims to improve connectivity between the western neighborhoods and the city center by consolidating two historic routes under a single operation. This merger will not only simplify the transport options available but also promote a more efficient use of resources including technical facilities and vehicles.

As part of this transition, Line 99 will cease its independent operations and become a secondary branch within the framework of Line 106. This means that the identifying number 99 will no longer exist on the buses operating in the city, reflecting a broader trend towards streamlining public transport services. The administration hopes that this change will enhance service efficiency and reduce confusion among passengers who navigate the city’s transportation system.

Furthermore, the unification of these lines is expected to alleviate congestion in residential areas by improving service frequency and accessibility. With the enhanced connectivity and integrated routes, residents are likely to benefit from easier and quicker access to central areas, thereby contributing to an overall improved urban mobility experience.
