One arrives important change with the transport card in Madrida transformation is coming that we must begin to take into account. Every Madrid resident is aware of how lucky they are to live in a city with quality public transport like this. We can travel safely without having to use a private vehicle, far from the incidents or delays seen in other parts of the country.
The capital’s public transport will soon experience an event that could change everything. The time will come to start, so you have to start preparing in one way or another. The future of transport will be very present and this will be what will make the difference in what awaits us. Without a doubt, that day will have arrived when we will have to put on the calendar a change that can be significant and that will end up being the one that stays with us. New technologies also affect transport in Madrid, which will benefit from important new features on their transport card, something we must start to take into account.
Confirmed change date
There is an important change regarding the transport card from Madrid, there is a date and an element that will make our lives easier. On the one hand, we will no longer have the physical card and it will become a virtual item. We will have it in our virtual wallet, the place where all the cards will end up.
An element that can bring us more than one joy or a detail that could be something more common than we imagine. It’s time to start managing these types of applications virtually. Being an element that will add a series of details that we must take into account.
A way to embrace this change throughout our lives. Maps of all kinds are destined to disappear, as we see. Starting with those that are present in daily life or in the details that will become reality as we see how everything becomes virtual.
But that’s not the only thing we’ll learn to put into practice. There are certain details that will make our lives easier and that can forever change the way we put things into practice.
The transport card in Madrid will change
There is also a new app that allows you to travel differently on public transport in Madrid. For the moment, only a lucky few can benefit from it, but it will eventually mark a before and after, in a change of cycle which could be important. As they explain to us on the Madrid transport website, there is a very interesting project underway.
As part of its development and in order to test its functionalities, ergonomics and improvement, the CRTM will contact a limited group of users to make the trial version of the tool available to you.
This application will allow you:
- Plan your route and choose the option that best suits your trip.
- Find the nearest bus, metro or Cercanías stop and get the next bus arrival information for each route.
- View information on transit times by stop in “real time”.
- View the vehicle’s position.
- Save and view the lines and stops you use most to speed up your requests via “My Favorites”.
- Check accessibility and the existence of elevators on your route or at public transit stations.
- Check for transportation incidents that may impact your trip.
- View alerts on air quality and winter incidents.
- “PideTuBus” on-demand stopping service for lines and stops where it is implemented.
- Consult the CRTM commercial network (management offices and points of sale).
The total duration of the pilot will be six months, extendable depending on the results obtained. Once its development is complete, this planner will be available through the multiple channels currently available to the user: web, mobile devices, etc.
This pilot test has been underway since July of this year, so it will not be until 2025 that it will be integrated into all Madrid residents. This application will make your life easier and will make this type of approach a much simpler way to get around the city.
These are steps which are usually taken and which will become a reality which will mark a before and an after. Now is the time to keep an eye on these types of developments that will make our lives easier and make Madrid a cutting-edge city in terms of transportation applications.
