Next Stop: Metro de Madrid
summary
An exploration of the Metro de Madrid’s ticketing and station technology using open data and official technical docs from CRTM. It describes the services that make up Metro’s infrastructure (turnstiles, card readers, recharge kiosks), how traffic is load-balanced across stations to stay online year-round, the step‑by‑step process when a transport card is recharged at a vending machine, and what data is stored on the cards and why they are hard to hack.
