Goodbye to a historic bus line: 151 will absorb it with a new route

The City eliminated line 90 and integrated its route into 151. This is how the branches and schedules look now

Buenos Aires City Government has confirmed that bus line 90 will no longer operate independently. The service will be integrated into line 151 with four differentiated branches.

According to the city administration, the goal is to improve the efficiency of public transportation and reorganize frequencies to optimize daily operations.

How the new bus routes will look

Branch A will connect Constitución with Saavedra. Branch B will connect Barrio 21/24 with the same neighborhood, after merging routes 90A and 151A. This section adds changes on streets such as Avenida Brasil, General Hornos, Finochietto, Guanahani, Ituzaingó, Paracas, Caseros, Salta, and 15 de Noviembre de 1889.

Only branch B changes its final stop, while the others will continue to reach Constitución. The stops in that area are relocated on Avenida Brasil. In Barrio 21/24, the section between General Iriarte and Luna is eliminated, and the buses will run along Avenida Osvaldo Cruz in both directions.

Branch C will cover the route Constitución–Concepción Arenal and Álvarez Thomas, while branch D will connect Constitución with Plaza Miserere.
