Commuting through Madrid Blog #2

UrbanRail.Net > Europe > Spain > Madrid Metro





I'm writing this post on commuting through Madrid for school and fun. Madrid has amazing public transportation and offers trains, buses, and metros to get around. It is also very cheap with the "abono" pass which you can apply for once you're in Madrid, its 20 euros a month and allows unlimited use for all of the buses, metros, and trains within the city. Applying for the abono is a must if you plan on studying here at Comillas!

My daily commute was a mix of using the bus, metro, and train to get to campus but I also chose to live in the south of the city when my campus was in the north. My advice is to look for housing near Sol, which is the center of the city that way you will only have to hop on the train to get to campus. Comillas actually has its own train station right outside of the building which is pretty cool. I posted a picture above of the metro lines that run through the city, and as you can see its pretty extensive.

The metro and bus hours are really good and usually run until 1:30am, and opens back up again in the morning around 6am. All of the transportation runs on time and efficiently which is a nice change of pace from the buses here in Hawaii. Madrid also offers long distance public transportation by bus and train to other cities throughout Spain which is great for weekend trips!
