SUBE Card
The Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico (''Unique Electronic Ticket System'', mostly known for its acronym SUBE) is a contactless smart card system introduced in Argentina in February 2009. It is used on public transport services within the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and other Argentine cities and was promoted by the Argentine Secretary of Transportation. It is valid on a number of different travel systems across the city including Buenos Aires Underground, the Underground, Colectivo, buses and trains.
