Tickets for travel on Metro

Passengers travelling on a Single Ticket or a 10-Journey Ticket valid for Zone A (Single Zone A and ML1, Combined Single, Metrobús 10-Journey Ticket and 10-Journey Combo Ticket) and wish to enter or exit the Aeropuerto T1-T2-T3 or Aeropuerto T4 metro Stations must pay an Airport Extra Charge. If travelling on a 30-Day Season Ticket, Annual Season Ticket or Tourist Ticket, there is no extra charge.  

The Airport Extra Charge, like the Single Ticket, once loaded onto any card must be used on the day of purchase. If you attempt to use it the day after it was purchased, the turnstile readers will not accept it because it has expired.

Airport Extra Charges can be loaded along with a Single or 10-Journey Ticket at these stations (Single Zone A and ML1, Single Combo Ticket, Metrobús 10-Journey Ticket and 10-Journey Combo Ticket) or at a later time. The maximum number of Airport Extra Charges that can be purchased is the same as the number of journeys available on the accompanying Single Ticket or 10-Journey Ticket.

A 30-Day Season Ticket can only be purchased with the Personal Public Transport Card. This type of ticket cannot be loaded on the Multi card. 

Depending on the profile of the Personal Public Transport Card, which is determined by the age of the cardholder, a 30-Day Young Season Ticket, a 30-Day Standard Season Ticket or a 30-Day +65 Free Season Ticket may be purchased. The user has 10 days to start using it once loaded onto the card. After this, the 30-day validity period begins even if it has not been used. 

Only one type of season ticket can be loaded onto the same card. Thus, for example, it is not possible to have one season ticket for Zone A and another for Zone B1 on the same card. However, the same type of season ticket can be loaded twice to the same card but it can only be loaded a second time if the user has already begun using the first one. 

The 30-day Season Ticket is valid for the zone indicated on the ticket and all zones inside the perimeter of that zone, i.e., a B3 Season Ticket is also valid in zones A, B1, B2 and B3. 

The 30-Day Interzonal Season Ticket is valid for the range of zones indicated on the ticket. For example, a B2-C1 Season Ticket is valid for zones B2, B3 and C1.  

With a +65 Personal Public Transport Card can purchase a 30-Day E1, 30-Day E2 or 30-Day Interzonal Season Ticket valid for zones E1 and/or E2 at the same rate that applies to the holders of standard Personal Public Transport Cards.

This ticket can be purchased at Metro ticket machines, tobacconist’s and other authorised points of sale, Bankia ATMs (with some exceptions) and Renfe-Cercanías stations.

CANCELLATION OF THE SALE OF ANNUAL PASS:

The Board of Directors of the Regional Transport Consortium, at its meeting held on 28 December 2023, agreed to continue with the suspension of the sale of individual annual passes and to maintain the sale to legal entities (annual pass for companies). For these, the same discount as in 2023 shall apply.

You can continue to use your personal public transport card to top it up with 30-day passes or 10-trip tickets (Metrobus, Bonobús, etc.).

Two zones have been defined for these passes:

Zone A corresponds to the limits of this fare zone and practically coincides with the municipality of Madrid.

Zone T includes the entire geographical coverage of the Transport Season Ticket, up to zone E2.

Validity

Tickets are valid for the calendar days specified on each type of voucher from the date of first use (it does not need to coincide with the date of purchase). The validity shall be extended on existing night services until 5 am on the last valid day.

Tickets that are valid for zone A may be used on:

• Metro, on all lines, within this area. (The airport supplementary fare is not required)
• E.M.T., on all its bus lines, except the express line to the airport.
• RENFE*, for the Cercanías stations included in this area.

Tourist Tickets can only be loaded on Multi cards and no other ticket types can be added to the card until the Tourist Ticket has expired. This is a personal ticket, so each passenger must acquire their own ticket in order to travel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 consecutive calendar days, starting at the time of the first validation. For cards purchased along with a Tourist Ticket, the price of the card is included in the price of the Tourist Ticket itself.

It is only possible to have one type of Tourist Ticket on a card. Thus, for example, it is not possible to have a 3-day Zone A Tourist Ticket and a 4-day Zone A Tourist Ticket. However, the same type of ticket can be loaded twice to the same card but it can only be loaded a second time if the user has already begun using the first one.

Children under the age of 11 receive a 50% discount on the purchase of a Tourist Ticket.

This ticket can be purchased at Metro ticket machines, tobacconist’s and other authorised points of sale, Bankia ATMs (with some exceptions) and Renfe-Cercanías stations.
