Question about transportation to and from the festival each night.
Hello.
I have a few questions about transportation. I attended Mad Cool 2018 and I stayed close to the festival site. For 2022, I’m looking to rent an AirBnB close to the Colombia station or Nuevos Ministerios station; both are on the pink subway line. If I remember correctly, in 2018, they had the pink line in operation until 5 am and only that line was opened. They had also a shuttle service from the festival to the train station (not sure about this option). There were also a lot of taxis waiting at the exit of Mad Cool between 2 am and 5 am. I haven’t seen any info about transportation for 2022. Should I expect the same type of options for transportation? What were the options in 2019?
In addition, I just that Pinar del rey station is closed for construction; the pink line, that goes to the festival is closed: “The renovation of the track supporting layer will mean the suspension of the service between Colombia and Mar de Cristal stations, although both will remain open to the public and the only station that will remain closed is Pinar del Rey. The Regional Transport Consortium of Madrid will also guarantee mobility in the area by introducing a special free bus service, at no additional cost to the user, to cover the stretch while the renovation works last.” Reference: https://www.metromadrid.es/en/press-release/2021-12-22/regional-government-of-madrid-to-invest-more-than-5-million-euros-in-the-renovation-of-underground-track-between-colombia-and-pinar-del-rey-stations. This should add a little of challenge to go and return from the festival.
Thank you.
