Excellent guide, tio Tony. I purchased the card but this was back in 2022 so it's got that 10th Anniversary design on it with a large "10" on the face so it looks like a 10-trip ticket jaja! You've probably seen those around. - Red

Great video as always! Only suggestion I have (as I am currently in Madrid and needed this information) is to also describe what the 1 journey ticket process is as it is a little more confusing than the 10 ticket journey. It wasn’t clear to me whether I could transfer using the same ticket and I nearly had a heart attack when the fare inspectors stopped me (at the first station) haha!. In any case your videos are super helpful for trip planning. Thank you!

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! We really see no reason why 99,9% of visitors to Madrid would want to purchase a single ticket, that's why we haven't given more attention to it. The tickets we've described don't include transfers - unlike what happens in Barcelona.

I think your videos are very good and teaching us and learning things I plan to go to Spain for a whole month I plan on staying the first three days in Madrid then go to Barcelona and then to Valencia from then on I will rent a car. My question is the first 10 days. I will not have a car in between Madrid and Barcelona, I will not have a carand we are a family of four. I was wondering what best card do you recommend for us to be going to places and traveling around and going from red Madrid to Barcelona thank you for your time. I appreciate it.

Hi, on this video we explain how to pay for public transport in Madrid. Here you will find the same explanation for Barcelona kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpOtq6OvrbF2sMk Your choice will depend on the location of your accommodation which, in turn, will define how many transport trips you will complete.

Hi Toni, Thank you so much for all your information as it is by far the best! We will be visiting Spain in May and will travel from Valencia to Madrid via high speed train. Our friends live just outside of Madrid. They have told us to take train line C7 or C2 from Chamartin and get off at La Garena station. So am I right in thinking when we buy our multi-card, we will need to buy tickets for 2 zones (Zone A & B3)? We will probably only use the train 2 or 3 times whiles we are there because they will be taking us around. Thanks so much for your help, MaryAnn

@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal 9 ай бұрын

Hello, as explained on the video, the Multi Card cannot be used on the trains unless you purchase a Tourist Ticket. You will have to buy a Renfe&Tú card and you will pay for each specific trip you take. All the best.

Hi Tony.. if we take a transfer from one metro to another, will I pay for 2 trips or is it counted as one trip? Also if I take a bus and metro for one journey will I spend one ticket or 2 tickets? Also is the C3 or c4b Parla trains included with metrobus tickets which is run by Cercanius?

Nice to mention would also be the App "Tarjeta Transporte" which allows the holder of a Tarjeta Multi to top up with the mobile phone. None the less I still have a question. Sometimes I would need to travel to Majadahonda, which is in the B2 zone if I understand correctly. is it possible to have tickets for Zone A and A-B2 on the same card, or do i need two Multicards?

Thank you, we will talk about the app once it allows you to validate your trip with it. We believe you cannot have different zone cards at the same time, as the machine wouldn't be able to tell which one to use, but ask any attendant at any metro station, they will surely be able to give you a definite answer not that.

Tarjeta Multi is accepted on those buses, you just need to have it loaded with proper tickets for the service. You were not fleeced, you tried to board a bus without a valid ticket for the service. Green buses serve the metropolitan area of the Madrid, they don't take you to the city. For that reason local tickets are not accepted on those buses.

@ Hi thanks for getting back, we weren’t going to the city centre but to the Ibis Barajas which is served by the 827. At no point were we warned in the purchasing process that it wouldn’t be accepted on these services. Worse having given up we opted for Uber but this was almost as bad. We followed the signage to the terminal 4 “Uber Pickup” location on level 4 of the car park, however this isn’t where you’re supposed to go. The correct location is right at the southern end of the arrivals level, by the time we’d worked it out and traversed the distance we’d been charged (later refunded) as no shows. we were on an overnight stopover from Miami to London, Madrid terminal 4 is rare, insofar as I can tell, in not having an on site hotel, and it was an immensely stressful experience as well as galling as I’d spent a lot of time online prepping. Please don’t regard the as a criticism of your video, maybe an updated video covering these issues? Best wishes
