Electronic Parties on Line B: What Are the Secret Raves in the Subway?
Subway parties—or electronic music parties on the subway—are well-known in cities like New York, Berlin, and Barcelona, and they’ve recently made their way to Buenos Aires.

Generally, the details are kept secret, and the exact location and time are revealed closer to the date. Participating is very simple: just hop on at the designated subway station, get into the right car, and you’re all set. The best part: you only pay the subway fare with your SUBE card.
