Overview

• The Roca line’s La Plata segment between Tolosa and Terminal de 1 y 44 remains closed until August 31 for critical track renovations.
• Passengers disembark at Tolosa and face a 20-block muddy trek or pay for repurposed Línea Norte bus shuttles, extending travel times and costs.
• No temporary ramps or accessible walkways have been installed, disproportionately hindering riders with mobility challenges and parents with strollers.
• Local workers and university students report that the extended detours and additional fares are disrupting their daily routines and straining tight budgets.
• The suspension is part of Argentina’s Emergency Ferroviaria modernization drive, which critics say needs stronger passenger-oriented planning to avoid recurring commuter hardship.
