The driver could prohibit you from entering the bus if your luggage is like this in Madrid

SPAIN / By Cruz Ramiro
  • Shared solutions and public transport go hand in hand to transform urban mobility
  • It already takes longer to go to work by public transport in Madrid than in London

As usual during the summer in our country, tourism grows massively. Thousands of visitors circulate through the cities in search of the best places in each town to get to know them and enjoy their history and culture.. However, many of these sites are too large to explore on foot.. Therefore, it is very common to use public transport for greater convenience of movement..

One of the most used is the intercity bus, especially in Madrid, given the large size of the capital and the cheap price of the trip.. However, we must worry about what the regulations are when accessing one of these, especially if we are visitors and have luggage with us.. And it is that we could be denied entry into these public vehicles if we do not meet a series of conditions.

This is how they told it in the Tik Tok Madrid Secreto account. In many cases, the drivers have no problem with us getting on the bus with our suitcases. However, many of them can leave us ashore if we do not comply with the regulations. It reflects that these cannot exceed the equivalent of hand luggage and must be subject to. Hand luggage may be carried that does not disturb other passengers. If our suitcase exceeds these proportions, we can only access the vehicle without it having a hold ready for this type of cargo.. If this is not the case, it will be up to the driver's decision if we get into the vehicle or not..

Bus regulations

There are more rules that must be met in order to use the urban bus. The first and most basic is that it must be accessed through the front entrance and respecting the turn. Once inside, the passenger should situate himself as far back as possible so as not to hinder other people entering the following stops.. In addition, the driver should not be distracted unless some type of information is required or an incident in the vehicle needs to be reported..

Before getting off at the corresponding stop, it will be essential to press one of the various bells arranged on the sides inside the bus. It must be done some time in advance so that the driver can anticipate and approach the stops with a certain margin. On the other hand, it is advisable to have the corresponding ticket on hand during the journey, since the employees of the transport company could request it at any time during the journey.

To all this, it is added that we must give up our seats to elderly people or people with reduced mobility who need it. It is totally obligatory in the places reserved for it.
