If you're bus breaks down in Buenos Aires you'll just get off and wait for the next one. Honestly, it has only happened to me once or twice. However, if you wait around you'll get to see one of these, extravagantly old Auxilio buses show up to the rescue. They're based on old Mercedes Benz truck chasis that were the standard for Buenos Aires until the 1990s. Like the mudanza trucks, they have an old-school bad-ass-ness that I find irresistible.
More on Buenos Aires buses [or colectivos as they're called here] on wikipedia [where else?].
