Reforzarán el transporte público por la PAU en Madrid

Metro de Madrid will reinforce up to 21% of the trains running on lines 2, 3, 5, and 10 of the subway during the University Access Tests (PAU) to ensure the mobility of students, with more trains also on the section that will remain open on Line 6 (Moncloa-Legazpi).

The PAU exams, which nearly 40,000 Madrid students took last year, will take place on June 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the regular session (June 7 will be reserved for possible overlaps and incidents).

On the other hand, the extraordinary session will take place on July 1, 2, and 3, with July 4 reserved for possible incidents and overlaps.

These dates will coincide with the closure of the western arc of Line 6 (a total of 15 stops), between Moncloa and Méndez Álvaro (both stations will be available to operate as termini of the open section) from Saturday, May 31 to September 12.

Alternatives to reach Ciudad Universitaria

In this way, students will have various alternatives available, in addition to the Special Substitute Service (SE6) that covers the surface route, which will run between Ciudad Universitaria and Méndez Álvaro termini.

In any case, from Méndez Álvaro or Pacífico, as well as from the rest of the stations on the eastern arc of the line, you can reach Ciudad Universitaria via the open section (platform 1).

Also, from Moncloa station, you can continue to use both Line 6, as that section remains open, and the EMT university buses.

From Legazpi station, you can reach Moncloa directly on Metro Line 3 and then connect again with Metro or buses, while from Oporto, the fastest option would be to switch to Line 5 to Callao and from there take Line 3 to Moncloa.

From Príncipe Pío, the best alternative is to take Line 10 to Plaza de España and from there, again, to Moncloa on Line 3.

EMT and intercity bus reinforcement

Regarding the Municipal Transport Company (EMT) buses, there will be an additional offer of 224 buses to operate these routes.

In the case of Campus de Moncloa, lines F, G, U, 82, and 132 will be reinforced, and for students heading to Campus de Somosaguas, there will be more services on lines A and H.

As for intercity buses, those linking Madrid with the faculties of Alcalá de Henares, line 227 or the Autónoma de Cantoblanco, the 714 and the urban L2 of the Alcalá municipality, will have the same frequency as on winter school days.
