(Manuel Tienda León) offers transportation from Ezeiza to downtown
Buenos Aires and the ride takes about 40 minutes. The ticket stand
of the Manuel Tienda León company is the first stand after

it if you carry a significant amount of luggage. If you arrive at Aeroparque, there is also another bus company called
Airbus.

The University Campus (Ciudad Universitaria)
is served by the bus lines 28, 33, 37, 42, 45, 107, 160. Some buses
end their route before reaching the University Campus. Only those
with a special sign "Ciudad Universitaria" behind the windshield
serve the School site. You should step down from the bus at the first
stop inside campus. All bus routes end at their third stop inside
campus. The bus fare must be paid aboard, using coin-operated ticket
machines. The driver will not change bills to coins, so you must have
your own coins to pay.
Card operated public phones, for local and international calls, are
available in the ground floor of the building. Cards are available
in the kiosk next to the building entrance. Long-distance phone and
fax services are also available in cabins next to the entrance to
the second building (Pabellón 2). The rates for international
calls from these cabins ("Locutorios", also common downtown)
are cheaper than hotel phone rates.
