City transport
Madrid is a pretty easy city to get around. The central areas
are walkable, the metro is modern and efficient, buses serve
out-of-the-way districts, and taxis are always available.
If you're using public transport extensively and staying
long-term, passes ( abonos ) covering the metro,
train and bus, and available for each calendar month, are
worthwhile. If you have an InterRail or Eurail pass, you can use
the RENFE urban and suburban trains ( cercanÃas ) free of
charge - they're an alternative to the metro for some longer city
journeys.
