Improving passenger information and highlighting the region’s intangible heritage: these are the two objectives of the new signage that Metro has installed in its network, which allows you to know not only the streets closest to each entrance to a station, but also which cultural and interest centers are nearby.
Metro has launched this signage, identical in color and typology to the usual signage, but which adds information on libraries, museums and other centers of interest near each exit.
These signs have been installed in some stations, such as Puerta de Toledo and La Latina, where both now indicate the exit closest to the Rastro, the emblematic open-air souk that has been operating every Sunday since 1740.
The idea is to extend it to emblematic stations, to indicate to travelers where to reach points of interest, both recreational and cultural or historical. It will be a way to promote the intangible heritage of the region.
For this reason, this signage has also been placed at other points of the network, such as the Art Station – with directions to the permanent book fair Cuesta de Moyano; Delicias – which indicates how to get to the El Águila complex, the regional library and the regional archive – or Moncloa – with information on the avant-garde museum La Neomudéjar, among others.
