Buenos Aires first new subway line in 60 years is the yellow Linea H which runs north/south underneath Avenidas Jujuy & Puerreydon. It will eventually connect all the lines altho currently it's just a five stop stub running from Once south to Avenida Caseros, the stop pictured above.
There are plans to roughly double the number of lines here, making the network much more complete. Here's one map of the proposed new lines. The current mayor, Mauricio Macri, promised in his electoral campaign to construct 10km worth of track a year. Currently, however, he's fighting with the federal government over funding. They're from different political parties. Flickr user n i f posts articles from Clarin and La Nacion to his account and I've found it a good way to keep up with latest developments.

Here's a link you might be interested in... http://www.enelsubte.com evolved from a Fotolog page to its own blog & has a ton of insider info. I'm still trying to figure out the exact relationship at different government between financier, constructor, & operator... past & present & of each line. That would make such an interesting series of posts or even its own blog.
This post (http://www.enelsubte.com/posts/1214333348.html) is particularly interesting with different, refurbished A cars. Saludos!
