Dogs Now Ride for Free on the Madrid Metro
Not all European subway systems are so generous to the four-legged.
Good news for Spanish dogs: for the first time ever, Madrid’s metro system is allowing them to ride the city’s subway trains without a ticket.
The new rules, which came into effect Wednesday morning, still don’t as yet constitute a canine free-for-all. The Spanish capital’s dogs must wear muzzles when they ride and avoid rush hour. And lest they feel like copying the many dogs who have taken to navigating Moscow’s metro alone, they must always be accompanied by their owners.
