    On Atocha and Chamartin stations you will find these vending machines to buy "Cercanias" trains tickets.
    Just choose the destination, the kind of ticket (one way, return, 10 rides...) and insert the coins (or notes).

  • The buses by Continental Auto leaves for Toledo every 30 minutes. A one-way ticket costs 3,89 euros and leaves from Estacion Sur de Autobuses (Metro: Mendez Alvaro). The bus ride takes 1 hour.

    Information correct as of July 2003 :)

    Well worth the visit is a day trip to Toledo. Approx. 70 kms from Madrid (44 miles) it is situated on a hill complete with cobbled streets and old world charm. The trip takes approx one hour depending on traffic. The main bus terminal (Estacion Sur de autobuses) is situated in the south of the city at the Mendez Alvara Metro station (line 6) Cost each way is 4.50 euros. Continental buses run approx. each half hour. Make sure you board the right bus, as seats are allocated. The number of the bus and seat are shown on the ticket (buses 1 and 2) If you miss the bus, return to the ticket office where your seat will be re assigned. Buses can be quite full even in the winter months with a lot of students making the journey.
