Report. Public transport system in Madrid INTRODUCTION In this report I will provide a description of the public transport system available in Madrid. The final section makes recommendations as to how the situation could be improved. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN MADRID All big cities like Madrid should offer a well-organized and completed public transport system, since driving our own car has become a bad option in terms of time and the damage to the environment that it causes. Madrid can show off one of the best public systems, with many available options. It counts with more than 200 bus lines, 12 underground lines and 8 trains lines. STRENGHS OF THE SERVICE People under 30 can get a Travelcard with unlimited travel number for only 20 euros, valid for all kinds of public transport, what makes moving around the city in public transport affordable for young people and promotes the use of this service. What is also interesting about public transport in Madrid is the abundance of bus stops and, train and underground stations all over the city. You always have a good option and well connected. SUGGESTIONS I would therefore recommend the creation of a cheaper Travelcard for those who have more than 30 and work out of downtown, since they are the ones that make the most use of the car. Being cheaper, they might change to public transport instead of using their cars. Further, reducing the time spent in the way would make it more attractive to them. A good way to achieve this could be increasing the service frequency and the number of lines.
