The Madrid PSOE has submitted a Non-Legislative Motion (NLM) to the Madrid Assembly calling for a series of metro service expansions to provide the capital’s metropolitan municipalities and new urban developments with good connections via the public transport network.
Expanding the metro, the Socialist group notes, will contribute to the well-being, social cohesion, and equal opportunities of tens of thousands of Madrid residents who do not live in the city center: “Madrid and its metropolitan municipalities are growing, and that growth demands that our institutions rise to the challenge,” they argued in statements reported by Europa Press.
Municipalities such as Parla, where the conventional metro would arrive for the first time, and others like Getafe, Móstoles, or Alcorcón, would benefit from these potential expansions, with improved connections.
How would the metro change with this expansion?
Under the PSOE-M’s plan to expand the Madrid Metro, the service would reach Cañaveral and Los Cerros, and this could be achieved in two different ways: by extending Line 2 or Line 7.
The expansion plan also mentions the southern section of Line 11 to include a connection to the Las Águilas neighborhood —a long-standing local demand—and Line 9—which , starting in July 2030, will be entirely managed by Metro de Madrid and will end its controversial transfer—.
As for Parla, the Socialists highlight the potential for connections from this municipality, particularly with the construction of the future AVE station (also connected to the Cercanías commuter rail) announced in November 2025 by the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente.
The projects that are already underway (or in the process of being implemented) are the extensions of Line 1 from Chamartín —adding the Centro de Negocios, Fuencarral Sur, and Fuencarral Norte stations—and the northern section of Line 11 —which will add six new stations and whose construction will begin in 2027—.
