Madrid - CityTransit Data
The task of organising and providing mobility services for the 6.6 million inhabitants of the Madrid Autonomous Community falls to the Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid, created in 1985. Micro-mobility options are criss-crossed throughout the city, integrating with the city’s extensive metro, tram, bus and suburban rail networks, with multimodal journeys helping residents and tourists navigate the Spanish capital.
Main indicators
Introduction
What is the modal share of sustainable modes in the city? And how much infrastructure is exclusively dedicated to public transport? Find out here the main figures on the city's public transport networks and sustainable mobility.
Number of public transport stops
The indicator shows the number of individual stops/stations where regular public transport services are allowing passengers to get on or off the vehicles. A station is signalled in a clear way to the potential users, including by listing the routes/lines stopping there, and is usually referred to by a unique name.
Values are shown in stops/100,000 inhabitants.
77 Per 100K inhabitants
Compare dataModal share of sustainable modes
The indicator captures the percentage of all the daily trips in the area undertaken primarily using sustainable travel modes: i.e. on foot, by bicycle, by public transport and by taxi.
59.5 %
Length of dedicated PT operational infrastructure
The indicator reflects the length of the exclusive sections along which regular private car traffic is not allowed to use the same space travelling in the same direction.
Values per mode show the absolute length in km of infrastructure.
64 km Per M inhabitants
Compare dataFleet of public transport vehicles
The indicator counts the number of vehicles registered to public transport operators to provide regular public transport services in the metropolitan area.
As vehicles are entering the fleet and being taken out of service at multiple times during the year, we are showing the effective fleet available for service at the end of the year, thus after all such fluctuations and changes have occurred.
Values are shown in vehicles/million inhabitants.
1,183 Per M inhabitants
Compare dataAnnual public transport ridership
The number of annual public transport journeys is the number of annual boardings in public transport vehicles (all modes and all operators within the metropolitan area are concerned).
Values are shown in journeys/million inhabitants.
241.87 Journeys per inhabitant

Compare dataCovid-19 ridership adjustment
This indicator is recording the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and public health crisis on the level of public transport use in the city. The ridership level recorded is compared with the one for the most relevant period pre-pandemic and before any restriction had been imposed restricting movement or activities.
Values are shown in percentage of the normal ridership expected without any restrictions in place.
62.7 %
Cost of a 1-trip public transport ticket
The indicator will record the cost a user will have to pay for the purchase of a single-trip public transport ticket in the city. The values shown reflect the average of two values:
a. the price when only one ticket is being purchased, without any other type of support or discount;
b. the price per ticket using any discount means provided for purchasing in bulk or additional support/platform.

Scheduled transport
Introduction
Scheduled transport services are those that run on a fixed time-schedule. They include most forms of mass transit, such as bus, light rail, and metro.
Average headway during peak times
The indicator shows the average time in minutes between two consecutive services of the same public transport line/route, running on the same section of the network, during the period considered as peak time

Compare dataCovid-19 change in service
This indicator is recording the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and public health crisis on the level of public transport provision the city. The supply level is compared with the one for the most relevant period pre-pandemic.
Values are shown as percentages of the VKM normally provided had no restrictions been put in place. 100% signifies service is at full, pre-pandemic levels.
100 %
Covid-19 passenger capacity limits
In many cities the maximum number of people allowed on-board public transport vehicles has been limited to reduce the spread of the virus. Such requirements change frequently, sometimes, but not always, being linked to the severity of the restrictions put in place at any moment

Customer satisfaction survey
The indicator shows whether a city’s public transport operating companies or authorities are conducting a regular – generally annual – survey among the residents of the city inquiring about the satisfaction with public transport services.
Yes
Compare dataNumber of Metro routes
This indicator records the number of lines in metro network. When two or more lines share the same infrastructure, the line is counted only once; branch lines are considered when the branch infrastructure is proportionately relevant with regards to the length of the full line.

Accessibility for people with reduced mobility
The indicator reflects the extent to which the city’s bus and tramway/LRT fleet are adapted for the carriage of such passengers. It refers solely to the reported accessibility of vehicles rather than the entire network and that of installations and buildings. For this reason, metro vehicles (where the mode is available) are considered as accessible and not included.

Step-free metro station access
The indicator records the share of the metro stations classified by the public transport operators as providing potential customers with step-free access from the street level to the platforms for boarding the trains.
65 %
Multimodal integration
An interchange is any place where a traveller can switch from one mode of travel to another, with a minimum/ reasonable amount of walking or waiting. The more modes available at an interchange, the higher the level of multimodal integration.
The indicator value will be calculated as an average for all the recognised stopping points for long-distance buses, railway and metro in the city.

Shared mobility
Introduction
While mass public transport is the backbone of mobility in many cities, shared mobility services, such as bike-sharing or car-sharing, can provide a flexible travel solution for example in the case of the first and last mile. One key differentiation with traditional public transport is that shared services are often provided as a response to the demand from customers.
Number of commercially licensed drivers
The indicator records the number of licences or permits issued by the transport authority in the area for the transport of passengers using small passenger vehicles - taxis or otherwise - within the area.
24,410

Compare dataIntelligent transport system
Introduction
Sustainable mobility also refers to convenient mobility, where traffic flow can be observed and managed centrally, vehicle arrival times and locations can be predicted for smooth connections, and the integration of the different modes into a single system can be as easy as 1-2-3. Here are some of the indicators that allow this to happen.
Share of stops with arrival information screens
The indicator refers to the share of public transport stops which have a screen or information board providing real time information to passengers regarding arrival and departure times. Metro stops are not taken into account.

MaaS system in place
The indicator shows whether Mobility as a Service is available in the metropolitan area. Such a MaaS system must have in place an option to plan, book and pay for trips using multiple transport modes in the area using a single platform. These trips should include both public and shared transport modes in the area.

Compare dataIntelligent transport system objects
The indicator refers to the Intelligent Transport System objects installed and connected to a central traffic management in place in the city.
