The Buenos Aires metro was private until 1939, when it was incorporated to the Buenos Aires Transport Corp. and, after subsequent changes, the network was run by Subterráneos de Buenos Aires, Sociedad del Estado (Buenos Aires Subway, State Society or SBASE) which in 1979, fell into the jurisdiction of the Buenos Aires Municipality.
