Buses Madrid's extensive bus services consist of over 150 lines that reach virtually every corner of the city and outskirts. Although the buses tend to take longer to reach their destination than the metro, they have a few distinct advantages: they cover a larger area of the city, you get to see where you're going and (quite importantly) they're air-conditioned in the summer. For buses from and to the airport, see the arriving and departing page of the transport section. For buses to destinations outside Madrid, see our information section. Routes from Madrid to sourroundings:
Also routes to Parque Empresarial, Las Rozas, Brunete, Las Matas and Villanueva de la Cañada:
City
Buses Most bus stops have detailed city maps posted (useful even if you're not planning to take a bus) which include the various bus routes. Prices are 0.95 euro for a single journey or 5 euro for ten journeys. Monthly passes, which are also valid on the metro,
can be purchased in Estancos where
you'll need your DNI card (for Spaniards) or your passport (for non-Spaniards)
and a passport-sized photo. The buses run from 6:00am to 23.30pm, after
which you will have to rely on night-buses (called 'buhos', meaning
owl - see below) or taxis. Usefully, the ten
journey tickets can be shared for travel by more than one person on
a journey. If
you need a lift after about 23.30pm you'll have to rely on either the
'buhos' or taxis for transport. There are 20
buhos bus lines. All start at Plaza de Cibeles,at
24.00 pm (on map C2-[d4]) leaving every half hour (on the half hour) between
midnight and 3:00 am and every hour on the hour between 3:00 am and 6:00
AM. |
