Do you know your way around the capital, but still have a certain amount of respect for certain modes of transport? The metro<\/a>, for example, is not for everyone.

At eMadrid we tell you all about it!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

La empresa que gestiona la l\u00ednea de autobuses de Madrid es la Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid (EMT). EMT is a public organisation in charge of urban transport in the city and operates an extensive network of buses in and around the capital. <\/span><\/p>\n

How many bus lines are there in Madrid?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Currently, there are more than 200 bus lines operating in the city of Madrid, more specifically 219, divided between daytime (191), night-time (27) and direct to the airport from different stops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, between them they total 3,977.666 kilometres in length and 10,884 stops, reaching different parts of the capital and neighbouring districts not served by the metro line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Want to know which bus in Madrid you should take? It is very simple. You can download the official EMT app, search for the stop closest to your location and see the different timetables and waiting times.<\/span><\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, you cannot open the app, you can be guided by the information signs at the stops, where you will see the destination of each line and the places it passes through before reaching its destination (these are usually circular lines).<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bus schedules in Madrid<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Madrid bus schedule depends on the line and the day of the week. However, they usually start operating around 6:00 am and end their service around 11:30 pm. However, there are some night lines that operate throughout the night, especially on weekends and public holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can check the specific schedules of each bus line on the EMT website and the waiting times on their application. If you enter the stop you are at, it will be much easier to check how much time is left and at what time it stops operating.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, in Madrid there are night buses that operate throughout the night.
