what does "ticket 10 trip" mean?

i think i know the answer, but just to clarify, when you buy a single ticket, is that one way? or does it take you back from where you started as well?

I think he meant a "ten trip ticket" will be 9€. The tickets are good for both local buses and metro.

Wow, the cost of inflation!!!! Still a bargain by California transit standards.

It is one way. you have to use your ticket each time you enter the subway. You can transfer on one ticket. For example, I went from Barajas to Sol on one ticket, but I transferred twice.

A word of caution . When you buy any ticket on the metro , make sure you keep hold of it ! Whilst inspectors on the metro are almost non-existent I have had 2 occasions ( in 5 years ) where they asked to se my ticket on the train . Failure to produce it will result in a fine of some sort . Also if you´re travelling from the centre to the airport ( you have to pay a supplement ) you WILL need the ticket to exit ( normally you only use the ticket to enter the metro ) .. so don´t throw it away !

yes indeed keep your ticket until you are out of the metro system. Some can update on the fines now, but in my neck of the woods is 28 euros, and 42 euros if using a discounted ticket when you should not.

It should also be repeated that single-trip metro/bus tickets remain the same price (for now) at just 1 Euro. I'll feel bad when they raise that amount to 1.20 Euros, for example, and the poor bus driver will have to make change - WHILE DRIVING (which is what they do, amazingly).

Well think about the poor people in London ! A ticket to go , for example from Liverpool Street to Charing Cross ( That´s like Goya to Sol .. a short journey ) will cost 4 pounds ( more or less 4 Euros ) !! Unbelievable ! Madrid , even if it does go up to 1.20 ( and it will ! ) Is still a real bargain !
