The two routes give good picture of old and new Madrid. Also good the number of transfer points between the two routes. Too bad that on route 2 the route was not extended a little further so that the leaning towers of the bank could be seen. Also, sometimes the buses were too full to fit in. Waiting for the next one soon takes too long in the heat.

The best way to get an overview of the city and see what you might want to see a second time. On the other hand, as already mentioned elsewhere, the marking of the boarding stations could be improved.

Seats were comfortable. However, the audio didn't work so well, and there were big gaps between information which was disappointing

El equipo del call center tardan siglos en contestar; deberían de mejorar su sistema y respuestas. Nota: un cero. El equiyde guía y conductor: Catarina y Oscar: un Diez! Impecable, amables, atentos, excelentes profesionales.

The reason for the trip was to visit the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. We rode the "City Bus" several times on both circuits and then visited the one we found most interesting. We were only supposed to stay in Madrid for two days and then go on to Barcelona, but we ended up staying for five days and didn't manage to visit everything because Mardrid "Cerra a las 22:00h". On the last day we went to visit the Civitas Metropolitano stadium by metro, where we received a phone call telling us that the hotel in the center of Salamanca was closing at 10pm. As we arrived at 10:30pm and despite having been warned, we banged our noses on the door and the receptionist said she couldn't wait a minute. The receptionist at the Hotel Ponte Romano **** (ele hoteles) helped us, and I asked him if we could stay one night. He adapted a room for 2 adults to 2 +1, which allowed us to stay in "una habitacion" on the 3rd floor, where we were bedridden like gods. Until next time! We still have 3 trips on the Madrid intermodal to spend.
