message: Does anybody know why the trains ride on the left side as opposed to the way cars and buses go?
I don't know many metro systems but the ones I do know, run accordingly with their street systems:
London undergorund, trains ride on the left, like their streets.
Paris, NYC, Mexico City, trains ride on the right, like their streets
and so on

message: I was just there in Dec of 05 and I though they were very deep compared to other subways (Boston,London, Montreal,Washington), is this significant. Were they designed that way as blast shelters?Tjb891 03:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but it could also be because of all the underground car parks and the sewer system - Madrid has no river to dump everything in so needs more sewerage than most western cities.
the depth is the result of a Madrid using the Madrid Method, a mining technique suitable for Madrid's soft soil.  Steve chiu (talk • contribs) 17:02, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, there's nothing on this article about the new station under construction between colombia and mar de cristal on line 8. I only saw it briefly, called pino del rey or something similar... anyone know? Proto::type 22:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: That is because Madrid's topography, which is really hilly (the altitud ranges from ~500m at the river to 800m at Plaza Castilla). For example, line 6 (circular) is almost at the river altitud at Ciudad Universitaria and three stops later, it is almost at Plaza Castilla altitud in Cuatro Caminos, so, while at Ciudad Universitaria Metro is close to the surface, at Cuatro Caminos it is 50m depth.137.121.1.26 (talk) 16:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Isn't there another ghost station between Avenida de la Ilustración and Lacoma, or Lacoma and Pitis? At the very least, there is a perfectly workable station, which isn't being used because there is a huge gitano camp nearby, or so I heard. I passed it once, and I believe it was called Arroyofresno. I don't know if that could be called a ghost station, but isn't it worth mentioning in the article? Does anyone know more about it? Raystorm 11:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why take away the info on the ghost stations? I thought it was pretty interesting, even if it was anecdotic. It could be put in a trivia section. Please put it back? Raystorm 23:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone familiar with the fare structure think it should be included in the article.  It is nice to be able to compare costs associated across the different metros, and other important systems have them listed in their WP articles. 24.68.249.197 23:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi. Just as a heads up, per WP:ICON and WP:MOS the little pictures of the line numbers that are sprinkled throughout the text should be removed. I was going to be bold and just do it myself, but thy appear to have a strange formatting I'm unfamiliar with. So I ask for help for those who've worked on the article before to help bring this article in compliance. oknazevad (talk) 03:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Late to the game, but I've cleaned up the icons in text that don't need them as requested. Hope I helped. Nutfield001 (talk) 20:28, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

message: The Madrid Metro has a very distinct logo that seems to be very consistently used, almost like the London Underground one. What's its history? Who designed it and when? SergioGeorgini (talk) 23:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Something should be said about its financial state and the price hikes that are combined with ridership descent. --Error (talk) 17:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
