Overview

• Fifteen stations between Legazpi and Moncloa on Metro Line 6 are shut for modernization works that began September 6 and are scheduled through the end of December.
• The closures have produced repeated queues and crowded platforms at hubs like Moncloa during the first work and school week, with many commuters facing longer journeys.
• Free substitute buses SE6 (Moncloa–Legazpi) and SE5 (Moncloa–Cuatro Caminos) and a night service SEN are operating, alongside added trains on other lines, yet capacity remains insufficient.
• The city’s BiciMad system experienced outages as its back‑to‑school promotion ended, blocking logins at key stations and limiting an alternate option for students and workers.
• Regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso said Line 7B will reopen by late November after extensive remediation that included more than €120 million in spending, over 13,000 tonnes of mortar injections, and the demolition of 73 homes with hundreds of properties monitored.
