SUMMARY Buenos Aires faces multiple transport-related challenges due to the lack of investment in developing transport infrastructure. The old city roads are currently operating at maximum capacity, leading to high levels of congestion and air pollution. Major investment is planned to modernize the transport infrastructure and network, mainly in terms of introducing the rapid bus transit system, electrifying rail networks, and constructing new subway lines and highways. The city has also taken positive steps to develop active mobility.
