Bicycle access in the Metro Network
Access with bicycles is allowed throughout the Madrid Metro Network on the following days and at
the following times:
SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS: All day
MONDAY TO FRIDAY: From 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 9:00 p.m. to service closedown
To ensure the correct use of facilities and to avoid inconveniencing other users, the
following conditions of use must be taken into consideration:
1. Only one bicycle will be allowed per passenger and ticket.
2. Bicycles may only enter stations through concourses attended by station personnel, who,
after checking the compulsory validation of the passenger’s ticket, will facilitate access
through the main door or passage for people with reduced mobility. Likewise, exit from stations
will be facilitated through the abovementioned concourses.
3. Bicycle access may be refused in circumstances that make it advisable, e.g. large numbers
of people, breakdowns and other incidents that hinder the transit and mobility of people inside the
stations.
4. Bicycle-carrying passengers will travel in the front or rear car of the train, with a
maximum limit of two bicycles per car.
5. Bicycles may not be ridden anywhere on the Metro network (corridors, platforms, etc.).
6. Bicycles may be carried on escalators and travelators and in lifts, degree of occupancy of
these facilities permitting, and providing that other users are not inconvenienced.
7. Bicycle-carrying passengers will be responsible for the bicycle’s safekeeping, and
will avoid causing any inconvenience to other passengers during the journey. Metro de Madrid is not
liable for any damage or losses the bicycles may suffer, and cannot accept any responsibility for
any damage the transportation of the bicycle may cause to third parties.
8. If deemed appropriate, these rules may be changed in order to enable Metro de Madrid to
provide a better public service.
Finally, folded bicycles (as well as children’s bicycles) will be considered as hand
luggage, and will therefore be governed by the hand luggage rules set out in Article 2, Paragraph b
of Metro de Madrid’s Passenger Regulations.
