Money
For anyone who travels frequently by bus, or bondis as they are known in local slang, you will know that getting hold of 90 centavos can be more difficult than it seems.
Buenos Aires is as short of change as it is full of carne. Meaning that if you need to urgently catch a bus, you will have to go to a maxikiosco and buy an alfahor or something to get some change.
But, if you don't want to buy anything, the best thing to do is to go to any public bank where they will happily change up a 10 peso note for free. The only problem with this is waiting in line, so try to go between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. when they are at their quietest.
