TERRITORIAL STRUCTURE

Madrid Region organisation and location of population, activities and socio-economic features show a well-defined functional structure:

Madrid city, as the main municipality of the region, concentrates economic activities.

Rest of the region, with small and medium size municipalities.

Madrid metropolitan ring, which consists of a number of large and medium size entities around the municipality of Madrid, with strong relations with the central city.

Madrid city: A

Metropolitan ring: B1, B2, B3

Regional ring: C1, C2.

The total number of trips in the Madrid region during a weekday in 1996 was 10.6 millions.

And are classified as

follow by purpose.

These trips can be distributed almost evenly in the three main modes: walk, public transport and private cars.

Into the metropolitan ring the use of the car is predominant, 30/70.

The use of PT for inner movements within Madrid city are clearly higher than PC, 66/34.

For radial trips between the metropolitan ring and the central city the distribution is quite equal 52/48, PT/PC.

The public transport system in the region of Madrid consists of four modes:

• Two urban modes in the city of Madrid:

• Two metropolitan modes in the region:

From 1970 to 1985 public transport lost about 20% of users, meanwhile during the same period Metro network multiplied by two its length.

The main transport reasons were: no co-ordination of networks between different PT modes, no investment on new rolling stock or buses, different tickets for each different PT operator, and so on.

But there were other reasons as:

• Social reasons: evolution from 4 trips per day to 2 trips, and Saturday no-working day.

• Economic reasons: Increase of income per capita and motorisation, specially in the first half of the period

• Location reasons: population leaves Madrid city to other cities in the metropolitan ring, increasing the use of private car.

SITUATION BEFORE CREATION OF CRTM

10

Administrative IntegrationWith the creation of the Consorcio Regional de

Transportes, as unique public transport authority,

gathering responsibilities of the Madrid Region and the

adhered local governments.

Fare IntegrationWith the implementation of the Travel Pass, which is

presently used in more than 65% of public transport

journeys.

Modal IntegrationAssuming that different transport modes are

complementary, expanding network and services, both

railways and buses, being intermodality a key issue.

Types of Multimodal Travel Passes

• OrdinaryOrdinary pass: users between 21 and 64 years old.

• YoungYoung pass: valid until June of the year when the user is 21 years old.

• ElderlyElderly pass: persons 65 years old or older.

Abono Transportes is a multimodal travel pass of unlimited use for a period of time (month or year), in buses, metro and railways of the region, within a validity zone.

• Length of MetroSur: 40.5 km.• Stations: 28, with 6 interchanges with

commuter railway and 1 interchange with metro network.

• Overall investment: 1,640 millions euros, including rolling stock.

• Execution period: four years, 1999-2003.

• Direct access by MetroSur between the five large towns of Alcorcón, Leganés, Getafe, Fuenlabrada and Móstoles.

• Access involving one simple transfer between MetroSur and Commuter railway to the middle towns of Aranjuez, Ciempozuelos, Valdemoro, Parla, Pinto and Humanes.

BASIC DETAILS OF METROSUR

27

• Population density is the lowest in the region

• High car ownership (500 veh/1,000 inh.)

• High income level

• Valuable environmental background

• No space available for further infrastructure

• High population growth

THE SYSTEM

• The BUS-HOV facility is physically separated by concrete barriers from the rest all-purpose lanes.

• It extends from the suburban village of Las Rozas, some 18 km from the urban core, to the urban district of Moncloa, ending at an interchange station

• The BUS-HOV system is a novelty in Europe, providing both promotion of Public Transport in the corridor, as well as a mean to increase car occupancy, reaching environmental objectives through infrastructure management.

29

GOALS OF THE SCHEME

• To increase infrastructure capacity in terms of number of travellers

• To eliminate congestion for BUS-HOV users

• To improve level of service for other users

• To reduce travel time

• To increase car occupancy

The facility operates on a reversible-flow basis (inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening on working days and the opposite on weekends).

30

TWO DIFFERENT STRETCHES

The first one extends from Las Rozas to the exit for HOV vehicles in Puerta del Hierro, where the N-VI connects with the first beltway (M-30) and has two lanes for buses and HOVs. The length of the HOV facility is 12.3 km.

The accesses to these two stretches are located at the two extremes in the starting and final points, and at 3 embarking points located in the central part of the motorway.

The second one, from Puerta del Hierro exit to the metro and bus station of Moncloa, is a single lane for exclusive use of buses. The length of the only bus lane is 3.8 km.

A key element in the system has been the interchange in Moncloa, located in the city extreme of the facility.

34

Avenida de América Interchange

• The Interchange was built underground, in order to create an extensive pedestrian area at street level. The only elements above ground are a domed access pavilion to the Interchange and some clerestories designed to provide it with natural daylight.

• The 480 m long access tunnel serves the Interchange providing direct entry and exit that can save as much as 15 minutes buses time in rush hours.

• Private Finance: 25.4 million euro by concession to 25 years.

35

Avenida de América Interchange - Sections

Level -1: Main concourse leading off to all other levels, the shopping area and long distance coach station with 18 bays.

Level -2: Urban and metropolitan bus station with 19 bays and connections to the bus entry and exit tunnels.

Level -3: Access concourse to Metro, shopping area and public car park for 269 short-stay vehicles.

Level -4: Local residents long-term park with 396 spaces.

• The addition of all these different measures have had an important impact on the mobility of Madrid region.

• The demand of public transport has increased 60% since the Regional Transport Authority creation (1986-2002).
