go for the Metrobus ticket. This is effectively 10 single tickets

can be bought at almost all metro stations.

at an entrance gate. Tickets are not normally checked bys station
staff but if you are caught travelling without a ticket, the
penalties are high.
BUSES IN MADRID
Travel by bus in Madrid takes longer than by the Metro. Also, in
common with all major cities, the routes are complicated for the
tourist to understand. If you plan to make a journey more then once or
twice and want to find out if the bus is a sensible option then ask at
your hotel or consult the
Transport System in Madrid website.
Night buses in Madrid however are much easier to
understand and they run when the metro is asleep. They follow the
routes of the metro lines in the centre of Madrid, L1 to L11. Simply
look for the nearest bus stop to any Metro station and that's where
the buses, known as Metro Buho, will stop. These buses run between
12.45am to 5.45am very 20 minutes or so.
As well as the Medtro Buho buses, 24 other bus routes
operate at night. These all start from Plaza de Cibeles and run out
into the suburbs of Madrid. |
