Madrid: Single Metro/Bus Ticket Price Raised 50%!

OMG!! Can you believe the nerve of the city of Madrid? They're raising the single-trip metro/bus ticket from 1€ to 1.50€ - a 50% price hike!!! Man-oh-man, that really burns my bum!!! The 8th of August is when it starts. See article HERE.

YET...I think that they have changed/are changing the age considered as "youth" for month passes to be a bit higher!
Which is great for me

not so bad price raising for new school year period is a habit in Europe. i pay 1,70 single ticket in PAris just yesterday ::)

I, too, realize that 1.50€ is STILL cheap for a per-trip ticket, but a 50% increase?? How about a 20% increase per year, instead?

we went from 1,60 to 1,70 in metro and 1,80 in buses ::) here where I am now its 2 € buses! I rather take the car which I did!
but of course i own it do not need to rent one or the company rents it for me ::)

Phew!...Stockholm's subway, single ticked 30sek= 3€

By the way!probably strike in the subway on 18, 20, 21 August
....the Pope come back!

oh yes SCandinavia is more expensive . and strike oh no it will be big thus ,traffic that is/
Spain is just getting the proper price now after years of movida life hehehehe!!!
