Buenos Aires is transforming an avenue in Palermo to accommodate the new electric Trambús public transport system, with operations expected to start by the end of 2026.
Buenos Aires is currently undergoing a significant transformation in its public transport system with the introduction of the Trambús, an entirely electric bus service aimed at enhancing urban mobility. This initiative is expected to be operational by late 2026, with the inaugural line, T1, connecting Nueva Pompeya to Jorge Newbery Airport.
Key to this project is the reconfiguration of Avenida Intendente Bullrich in Palermo, where construction work has already commenced. The planned changes include an integral overhaul of traffic patterns to prioritize sustainable transport while ensuring that vehicle circulation remains unaffected. According to the city’s Ministry of Mobility and Infrastructure, the construction in this area is slated to last two months during which normal vehicle traffic will still be facilitated.
Overall, the Trambús project signifies a critical shift towards more sustainable urban transport in Buenos Aires, promising to reduce carbon emissions while improving the efficiency of public transportation. As this new electric system rolls out, it may set a precedent for similar initiatives in other regions, paving the way for greener urban mobility solutions.
