## Description

**Madrid Transport - Bus Card** is a Chrome extension providing live arrival times for all public transport modes in Madrid, including Intercity buses, EMT, Metro, Cercanías, and Metro Ligero.

## Review summary

User reviews show the app is essential for Madrid transit and useful for timing, yet reliability is a major drawback. Real-time bus times are frequently inaccurate, with missed or late buses. Card/pass integration is inconsistent, and scanning or saving the abono often fails. Privacy is a common concern due to forced data sharing with third parties and invasive permissions, along with premium gating. Despite issues, many find the app usable and valuable, highlighting a need for improved timing accuracy, pass integration, and privacy controls.

### Pros

- Essential for navigating Madrid's public transport.
- Provides bus arrival times and schedules, helping plan trips.
- Usable and helpful; generally positive feedback from users.
- Historically accurate when functioning.
- Simple interface and quick checks for travel planning.

### Cons

- Unreliable real-time timings; frequent delays or buses that don't arrive (phantom buses).
- Abono/card integration fails to save; card scanning issues.
- Privacy concerns: mandatory data sharing with third parties and data selling.
- Premium/cookies gating: forced consent to data sharing or paywalls to access features.
- Performance can be worse than alternatives like Google Maps at times.
