Day 33: Subte v Tube

10 things about the Buenos Aires underground train system that make it different from the London Underground:

1. It's called the Subte
2. You can use your mobile phone
3. It's sooooo much cheaper - 17p a ride
4. It's more crowded in rush hour. You think London is bad? This is REALLY squashed
5. It's hotter
6. It has way more buskers and some are only eight or nine years old
7. Some of them don't even sing, they just play a CD
8. People listen to them, applaud them and give them money
9. No-one walks up or down escalators. They stand on the right and stand on the left
10. When it's crowded, some people hold their bags above their heads to prevent pickpocketing
