I've already phoned and asked to please include more buses. They said that
they will try to fix this. I'm going to insist today. People sending in
their mails asking for this makes it a more urgent matter to them.

The options are:
1) Take a bus to AEP and take a plane from there to MDQ.
There are buses to Aeroparque every hour. The trip lasts about 1 hour, and
cost ARS 45.
There's a flight at 19:55, that arrives at MDQ at 20:50.
Be aware, however, that this flight is provided by Aerolíneas Argentinas,
which is currently in a big mess of being re-bought by the government after
the previous owner "emptied" it, so their flights aren't a big certainty
(Wouter just told me that his got cancelled).
2) Take a bus to Retiro station (Buenos Aires' main bus station) and take a
bus from there to MDQ.
There are buses to Retiro every hour. The trip lasts about 40 minutes, and
cost ARS 40.
There are more than 50 available buses per day. You can book in advance
online [1], or you can go there and buy tickets for the next available bus.
Buying in advance secures you a place, but you have to be careful to leave
enough time to arrive at EZE, take the bus to Retiro and then take the bus
to MDQ.

I'm already talking with them about this, as well. Hopefully we'll find a
solution that suits everybody.
