Massive shortage of the cards - not sure if its the chip or the plastic.
We got our cards in Feb 2022, when they were almost everywhere, and then left BA in July. Flash forward to our return in Dec 2022 thru Feb 2023.
While we were in Bariloche, what we noticed when riding the bus, the locals would get on without a card, and ask another local to "borrow" their card, swipe it, hand it back to the lender, and then pay them the 15 cents or whatever it was. Happened on most every bus ride.
Of all things to have a shortage of?
