Current FlixBus boarding guidance

FlixBus currently says its buses depart from platforms 26–30 at Madrid South Bus Station. For departures between 1:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., access is via the main entrance on Calle Méndez Álvaro. Platform assignments can change, so the current ticket remains the final authority.

Do not confuse this stop with Madrid Autogara

The same Méndez Álvaro complex also contains a separate marketplace-partner stop listed as Madrid Autogara. If your ticket says Madrid Autogara or bays 61–65, use that specific stop rather than the standard South Bus Station platforms.

Getting there

Méndez Álvaro is connected to Madrid’s urban transport network. Plan the final transfer around the station name and departure bay on your ticket, especially for early-morning departures when access arrangements differ.

Before departure

• Check the latest platform in the operator app or ticket.
• Arrive with enough time to find the correct bay within the station complex.
• Keep identification and luggage information accessible.
• Review same-day service alerts if road conditions or major events could affect departure.
