Paying for rideshare is out, and riding Madrid’s local transportation is officially in. Why drop €20 on a taxi when you can zip across the city for under €2?
Madrid’s metro and bus system is not only clean, safe, and reliable, but it also gives you a front-row seat to the everyday rhythm of the city.
Madrid’s metro system is far better than any system that we could ever dream of in the states. With clean hallways and safe transportation. As long as you’re holding on to a railing when the metro takes off then your guaranteed to have a safe ride.
In the mornings the bus is filled with all kinds of riders. From kids with their transportation card on a necklace around their neck, too adults who seem to be in a rush to work. The morning rides are a lot quieter as people are on a mission to get to their final destination.
The nighttime rides are filled with happiness and anticipation. As riders are on their way to nights filled with music, drinks and fun.
If you want to go out to the city or hit the club, the bus and metro system has got you covered. With your red transportation card opportunities are endless. Wherever you want to go in Madrid your handy red card can get you there.
