This service is still working today April 2013??? thank you
Sergio, indeed, this bus service continues to operate without problem. It is the alternative to the Metro and the commuter train to go to the center of Madrid
I travel often to Spain and I always have to take the AVE. It's a shame when in the taxi to Atocha they ask for the same amount as the flight costs – and I don't fly low-cost… The bus was a very nice alternative – but an increase of €2 to €5 euros is a shame !!
Improving mobility would be an advantage in times of crisis!
Thanks for your comment, Eva.
Hello friends, I inform you that the rate has increased from today, May 1, 2012 to 5 euros
