The coach stations at Rosario and Córdoba are quite central, whilst airports are far away and taxis tend to be expensive, especially in Córdoba, where they have a special (more expensive) fare for airport-downtown trips.
It's only $86 for the OW ticket, while bus is around $30-ish. I have done the 3.5 hour bus from Retiro to Rosario, and it was pretty painless; good to know that the airports are far from town!
Is there anything interesting in between the two cities?
