The Madrid Metro in figures

The network has 12 metro lines and the Ramal (the Ópera–Príncipe Pío shuttle), plus Metro Ligero 1, which Metro de Madrid also runs. This guide has 249 separate stations (242 without the Metro Ligero): a station where several lines cross, such as Sol or Avenida de América, counts only once. That count matches the one from the Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid (CRTM), the regional transport authority, which publishes a figure of 242 «network stations» for the 12 lines and the Ramal. In its official figures Metro de Madrid gives 303 stations and 296.78 km of network, a higher number because it counts each station by line and service section.

The first line opened on 17 October 1919 between Sol and Cuatro Caminos. Today the metro reaches 11 municipalities of the Comunidad de Madrid besides the capital, with MetroSur as the large ring line in the south.

This website does not belong to Metro de Madrid: it is an independent guide that takes the information published by the operator and the open data of the CRTM and turns it into a page for each station and each line.
