Overview

• On July 23, the Comunidad de Madrid approved updates to Metro de Madrid’s statutes to include collection, transport, storage and delivery of goods.
• Metro de Madrid issued last week a nearly €3 million, three-year framework tender to select delivery partners for the ‘Última milla’ service.
• The inaugural operations on Line 3 (Moncloa–El Casar) and Line 12 (MetroSur) will run during off-peak hours without passengers, using vacant trains and storage facilities.
• Pilot runs in late 2024 already handled 1,000 parcels daily—700 on Line 12 and 300 on Line 3—validating technical and logistical feasibility.
• The service is projected to replace roughly 700 van trips each day and curb urban emissions, and it is slated to expand to lines such as Line 5.
