Y eso!?!? Jer, come on, what is it that you were doing that was more important than riding around in a circle all day!??! what good are you!? hahaha.
True, I am ashamed to say that I had to "work" that day and do a lot of errands, I am indeeed slipping Wink

Note: Using MetroSur...

Ok, thought I would give everyone the scoop on the use of the brand spankin new MetroSur line 12.

The normal 10 trip...



... or single use ticket that one can use for the Metro here is no good for MetroSur.

In order to use MetroSur, you need to by a special (although it looks pretty much the same) ticket. Also, the MetroSur tickets can not be used on the normal "Red de Metro" (Metro network). The MetroSur tickets cost the same as the normal Metro tickets (1.10 Euros per ride or 5.20 Euros for a 10 trip ticket).

In addition, if you use an "Abono Transportes" or monthly transportation pass (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO) and wish to use MetroSur with it, you will need to have the "B1-B2" zone Abono (28.35 Euros/month as of Jan 1. 2003) since the new line 12 is considered zone B1.

I will now be happy to field any questions (about the MetroSur smart alecs) Big Grin Wink Red Face

Oh yeah, when using MetroSur (as compared to the normal Metro), you need to pass your ticket through the turnstyle machine when you enter AND when you exit at your destination.

Not sure why they do this, I think it may be for their records to see how many peeps are going where on the new line.

Or to stop people trying to get away with using zone A tickets. This is what they do on the bit of line 9 outside zone A. I don�t think I�ve ever seen a ticket inspector on the Metro.

Not been out to Metrosur yet, still some lines in zone A that I haven�t completed :-)

On a related point, anyone ever seen a good railway atlas of Spain?
