THANK YOU 🙏! I am sitting at the airport at the moment waiting for a flight to Madrid and saw your video, what a lovely coincidence. Can’t believe I can take a free bus to the city center, you are a lifesaver!
Wow - this is awesome info Tony! We will be staying at AC hotel Atocha in January. With this, I might not need to buy the Titulo Turistico. Looks like the 001 route will cover a lot of places we want to visit in Madrid.
Love your videos! Thank you so much! Very informative. Will be in Barcelona and Madrid next week! Is this service still free? We’re staying at Hotel Riu in Madrid. Still thinking if I need to book Hop on hop off in Madrid. Booked one in Barcelona already.
Very helpful videos for my upcoming trip! Can you clarify validating the ticket? If I get a paper ticket, do I still need to do something with a multi card? Or is it one or the other that gets validated? Thanks!
Hi Sandra, you either get a ticket from the driver, or validate your trip with your MultiCard, one or the other. Remember you cannot use Madrid city buses with suitcases, only carry-on bags.
The best thing is to pay with a Multi Card, explained on this video th-cam.com/video/dXaVX0Pag08/w-d-xo.html You can also pay the full fare with a contactless card, but in that case you will pay the full fare, more expensive. You can also buy the ticket from the driver, paying also the full fare.
Thanks Jimmy, it could be progressive if it were not for the fact that it is a gimmick more than anything else. But rather than debating the merits of the initiative, our concern here is to make sure everyone knows how to make the most of it!
Hello Tony! Thank you so much for your informative and helpful videos! :) In your opinion, is it worth buying the Tourist Card in Madrid if this line, which looks like it gets you to the main tourist attractions, is free?
Heavy luggage would be anything you cannot take onboard a plane (yes, a cabin size suitcase can be heavy!). You can board the bus with a cabin size piece of luggage.
Hi, you cannot board Madrid local buses (including 001) with mid-sized or larger bags. But one carry-on piece of luggage is accepted. If you are carrying a large backpack and a carry-on the driver might not like it.

This is awesome! I had no idea they had a free bus. I’m staying near Atocha so this will save me money. Thanks !
If you are staying near Atocha line 001 will be fantastic for you!

Great to hear that!
Another excellent video! Very important information, unknown to travelers. I loved it!
Thanks a lot, Yara.
Thanks Tony. You Da Man!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Do remember you cannot ride the bus if you are carrying large items of luggage.
Great info
Thank you, Gina!

If you are staying near Atocha and plan to make the most of line 001 you can certainly skip the Título Turístico.
Hi, could you confirm is the 001 bus is still operating FOC? Thanks.
@@norasmahmohdnoor7847 still operating as described in the video. Remember only cabin-sized luggage is allowed onboard the bus.

The 001 bus service is still free (but be aware you are not allowed to use it if you are carrying large suitcases). All the best!
Hola Tony,
Is bus 001 still free and operational?
Hola, Delsia, still operational.
Thank you for a great video. Do other cities like Barcelona or Seville have a free bus like this? Gracias
Marcia, no, they don't.
Is this service still free - thank you so much for all of your help 😊
@@helenrosney-lowry1633 it still is!

Hi Sandra, you either get a ticket from the driver, or validate your trip with your MultiCard, one or the other. Remember you cannot use Madrid city buses with suitcases, only carry-on bags.
Thank you for your recommendation. May I ask a question , for ordinary bus , how to buy the ticket, with the driver or only with ticket machine ?
The best thing is to pay with a Multi Card, explained on this video th-cam.com/video/dXaVX0Pag08/w-d-xo.html You can also pay the full fare with a contactless card, but in that case you will pay the full fare, more expensive. You can also buy the ticket from the driver, paying also the full fare.
Free bus service ! Wow !!! That's progressive :)

Is 001 Bus accessible for for disabled people (using either a mobility scooter or wheelchair)??
Thank you
Yes, it is.
Hello Tony! Thank you so much for your informative and helpful videos! :) In your opinion, is it worth buying the Tourist Card in Madrid if this line, which looks like it gets you to the main tourist attractions, is free?
If you are staying near the 001 line, the tourist transport pass won't probably be a good investment.
You say not if have heavy luggage. What counts as ‘heavy luggage’? Could I use the bus with my cabin size suitcase?
Heavy luggage would be anything you cannot take onboard a plane (yes, a cabin size suitcase can be heavy!). You can board the bus with a cabin size piece of luggage.
thank you for the information.. whether this bus is still operational in May 2023? If yes, can we use the bus with heavy luggage?
Hello, bus still operational. You can NOT board Madrid buses with heavy luggage (the only exception are the buses operating from the airport).
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Gracias
when you tap the tourist card to validate the trip inside the bus, do you get some sort of physical ticket?
No, you don't.
Hi Tony, is this bus 001 would allow me and my wife to board going to Atocha station with both have bag packs and carry on luggages?
Hi, you cannot board Madrid local buses (including 001) with mid-sized or larger bags. But one carry-on piece of luggage is accepted. If you are carrying a large backpack and a carry-on the driver might not like it.
So can i use one card for me and my two kids?
You can use one card to validate your trips and those of your kids on the 001, for as long as there is credit in the card.
Is the 001 still running this July?
It is.
#056 what are the stops on the 001 bus please?
You can see them here www.emtmadrid.es/getattachment/Noticias/Manana-arranca-la-segunda-linea-cero-de-autobuses/Dossier-Linea-001.pdf.aspx
