Madrid – Intermodality

Intermodality in Madrid

Gradient color map showing intermodality levels in the city of Madrid.

This indicator represents the levels of intermodality in the city of Madrid, indicating access to different modes of public and cycling transportation. In central areas such as Centro, Chamberí, Salamanca, and Arganzuela, the highest levels of intermodality (levels 3 and 4) prevail, reflecting strong connectivity with multiple transport modes, including metro, buses, trains, and bike lanes. In peripheral districts such as Villaverde, Carabanchel, Hortaleza, and San Blas-Canillejas, intermodality levels progressively decrease, showing a higher proportion of levels 1 and 2. These areas have limited access to fewer transport modes, which may hinder connectivity. Areas with no intermodality (level 0) are mainly located on the outskirts of the city, such as Fuencarral-El Pardo, Moncloa-Aravaca, and Vicálvaro, as well as some less urbanized areas. Overall, this pattern reflects a centralized transport design that favors multimodal access in dense urban areas, while in peripheral areas, multimodal connectivity is less developed.
