Is travelling to town from Adrogue better by minibus than by train?

For travelling to town from any point of the suburbs such as Adrogué, there are several options to choose, but the most frequently chosen are going by train or by minibus. So if we have to chose, which one is better?

First of all, we have to consider three principal aspects in which both means of transport differ: time, comfort and price. If you are in a hurry and need to reach destination quickly, taking the train is the best option, as it takes nearly 30 minutes from Adrogué to Constitución station. Very different is the case of minibus, which lasts at least one hour and 30 minutes, as it circulates through the road with the heavy traffic.

Secondly, taking into consideration comfort, depending on the time of the day, the train does not provide a great service. Early in the morning when commuters go to town, carriages  are full and it seems as there is not enough air for everyone to breathe. With the combi, instead, you can travel sitting and it has a capacity of 30 people, so there is no way to be uncomfortable. Into the bargain, seats are cushioned for your benefit.

Finally, in terms of price, it is far more viable to travel by train if you have to do this trip every day, as it costs less than four pesos while, in contrast, you have to pay 38 pesos each trip by minibus. However, special discounts are offered for regular passengers.

In conclusion, the better means of transport from Adrogué to town varies depending your necessities and your priorities. Nevertheless, from my point of view, if you are in a hurry, the train is always better. If you do not have much money, you will need to travel by train. If you have enough money and prefer travelling comfortably, then going by minibus a good option to choose.
