Public Transportation and Infrastructures

A series of innovative measures to guarantee mobility and easy connections
The emphasis on planning for the needs of future inhabitants led us to plan accesses to the principal communication routes in a very early phase of development, so that mobility and connection to the metropolitan network will be guaranteed from Day One.

Commuter Train Line (Cercanías)
The commuter train will connect Terminal 4 of the Barajas International Airport with the Chamartín station, with two stations located in Manoteras and in Valdebebas, next to the future Campus of Justice. The execution of the new line, started in April 2007, is projected to be completed sometime in 2010. The entirety of the commuter train line passing through Valdebebas will be underground, and connection time between T4 and Chamartín will be approximately 10 minutes.

Proposed Light Rail
When the streets were laid in Valdebebas, tracts were reserved for a future light rail line, which would connect Valdebebas to the metro at Mar de Cristal Station, where Lines 4 and 8 meet. At present, this possible expansion of the network is being studied by the Community of Madrid.

Dedicated Bus Lanes
With the goal of guaranteeing effortless transport among different points in the development, different bus lines will circulate along the main thoroughfares that will originate at the future interchange station. There will be numerous dedicated, separated bus lanes traveling north and south on main thoroughfares and along the Justice Campus corridor.

Valdebebas Transport Hub
Bus, light rail and commuter train lines will converge in the transport hub, permitting quick and easy access to the commuter station. There will also be a Park and Ride to encourage regular drivers to use public transportation.

Bicycle Lanes
Taking cues from other European cities and using the design criteria of the Cyclist Mobility Plan of the City of Madrid as a reference, nearly 22 km of bicycle lanes have been created within the urban center of Valdebebas. The cyclist network connects with the leisure bike routes in the Woodland Park, which links up over the M-40 with the Cyclists´ Ring Road that surrounds Madrid.
