Video: In Madrid you can already move by Moto Taxi

The first time I was in Paris, I was amazed when, as I walked out the gate of Charles de Gaulle Airport, I saw a squad of fully equipped BMWs picking up passengers to take them downtown. The traffic jams around Paris are well known, and many passengers regularly opted for the Moto Taxi service to reach their destinations without spending hours in a traffic jam.
I always thought that this type of company would triumph in some cities of Spain such as Madrid, and I'm glad to see that finally someone has dared to take the initiative. It is the Moto-City company, which for some time has offered these services of passenger transport by motorcycle.
Do not expect that we can stop them on the street as if they were a normal taxi, what you have to do is call ahead to reserve the service and they come looking for us. The passenger tells him the route and the company informs him of the price, which will be one minimum of 10 euros.
Also you do not have to worry about anything, since they bring a complete equipment, consisting of helmet, jacket, pants, boots and gloves. For hygiene reasons they offer you to wear a balaclava and plastic inner gloves.
The taxi drivers' collective has already begun to protest, and it seems that everything that has two wheels bothers them. But the truth is that from Moto-City they ensure that all passengers are covered by insurance.
I have tried to calculate a route from their website, which gives you that possibility to see the prices. It's about a 15.29 kilometer journey from the Center of Madrid to the Airport, specifically to Terminal T4. The total price, which includes a supplement of € 5 for being an Airport, is 28 €, the same or even less than a normal taxi.
Considering the traffic jams that sometimes form in the capital, perhaps this is the perfect solution to arrive on time for that work meeting, dinner or appointment that you may have and also do it in a Suzuki Burgman 650 and not in a Skoda Octavia listening to Radio Olé.
