Line F (Buenos Aires Underground)

Line F is a planned addition to the Buenos Aires Underground. In 2019, the government of Buenos Aires was looking for a group to create a plan of the line,<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> but this study was cancelled in 2022.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The city decided to create a study with their own staff, which is still underway as of 2024. The estimated cost of the project has risen from 800 million dollars,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> to 2 billion USD.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Overview

Permission to construct the line was originally granted in 2001,<ref name=":0" /> in a sanction which also included lines H (partially completed) and line I (not started).

The line is set to be the most modern in the network, using automatic trains, a communications-based train control system like the one being installed on Line C, and platform screen doors.<ref>Confirman proyecto para desviar la línea F a Facultad de Derecho - EnElSubte, 25 November 2014.</ref><ref name=":1" />

The line is also expected to have the highest ridership when compared to the existing lines, at 600,000 riders annually.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In the 2019 tender, eight of the thirteen stations were connected to other lines on the network.

Line E ghost stations

In 2006, it was considered whether the two Line E ghost stations (San José vieja and Constitución) could be used as the southern point of Line F, considering they overlapped the line's trajectory. However, it was later decided that Line F would use a completely new tunnel with new stations given the frequency the line is expected to have.<ref>Realizarán estudios en Constitución para ubicar la cabecera de la línea F - 1 August 2011</ref>
