On the metro, travel with your dog responsibly

We inform you how to travel correctly with your dog, for its safety and that of other passengers.

When traveling with your dog on the metro, remember to always keep it on a non-extendable leash, no more than 50 cm away from you, and wearing a muzzle.

It is also important that, for their safety, you do not take them on the escalators, as they may be prone to an accident. Always use the stairs.

We provide you with all the details.

Travel during the allowed time slots

  • Dogs can access the metro from 5:00 to 7:00 AM, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and after 7:30 PM on weekdays between September 11 and June 24.
  • On weekends, public holidays, and all days during the summer period (from June 24 to September 11), they can access without any time restrictions.
  • During times of heavy crowding and when the safety of users and the animals themselves requires it, TMB may limit the admission of dogs.

Before traveling by metro, you should know...

  • Only one dog is allowed per person.
  • Minors under 18 years old are not allowed to carry dogs considered potentially dangerous according to current regulations. The individuals carrying them must have the license and the certification proving the dog's registration in the municipal register.
  • From the metro entrance to the street exit, the rules regarding the muzzle, distance, and leash must be followed.
  • Dogs are only allowed to use elevators and fixed stairs.

Traveling with your dog is your responsibility

  • The person responsible for the animal’s behavior is the one who is carrying it. Therefore, you must ensure that no situation of danger or inconvenience occurs to other users. You should also avoid blocking passages or doors, both in the vestibules, corridors, and on the trains.
  • The person carrying the dog is responsible for any damages or harm the dog may cause to both users and the company. The dog's owner is subsidiarily responsible.
  • If the conditions established for the access of dogs to the metro are not respected, the person carrying the dog may commit, depending on the circumstances, a serious or minor offense, in accordance with articles 64.s) or 65.p) of Law 4/2006, of March 31, Railway Law.
