The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced this milestone during the presentation of the first of 48 autonomous trains that will begin operating on Line 6 starting next year. Ayuso celebrated the "citizens' trust in Madrid Metro, which grows every year and is undeniable," calling the figure "a record in its 107-year history."
The Madrid subway closed 2025 with an unprecedented maximum of 736.8 million journeys, a 3% increase from 2024. The most in-demand lines were Line 1, with nearly 60 million journeys, followed by the Circular Line (Line 6) with 56.8 million, and Line 10 with 43 million. The Sol and Moncloa stations were the most used, both exceeding 11 million entries.
The regional president recalled that this is "the Legislature of Metro," highlighting not only the automation of Line 6 but also the expansion of the network. Line 3 has been extended from Villaverde to El Casar in Getafe, connecting with Metrosur. Additionally, Line 7B has been restored up to the Hospital del Henares.
The tunnel boring machine Mayrit is advancing on the first section of the Line 11 extension, from Plaza Elíptica to Conde de Casal, at a rate of approximately 20 meters per day. Furthermore, the terminus of Line 5 is being moved from Alameda de Osuna to terminals 1, 2, and 3 of Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. Modernization and accessibility works are ongoing at the Ventas, Avenida de América, and Bernabéu stations.
