The Consorcio also extends into some councils of the nearby provinces of Toledo, Guadalajara and Cuenca, and, to a lesser extent, to some councils of the provinces of Segovia and Avila.[5][6]
Its executive board is presided by the regional minister for Transportation. The vice-president is a member of the Municipal Council of Madrid. The rest of board members are 6 more representatives of the regional government, 2 more representatives of the Madrid municipal council, 3 representatives of other municipal councils, 2 representatives of the State administration, 2 syndical representatives, 2 representatives of corporate associations and 1 representative of consumer associations.[7]
Intercity buses
Intercity transport, i.e. journeys that go between different municipalities in the Madrid region, are operated by the CRTM. The company operates three separate types of lines; (i) daytime lines, (ii) daytime lines with added night service, and (iii) dedicated night lines.[8] The inter-urban night buses (autobuses interurbanos), commonly known as Green Owls (Búhos verdes), travel further afield than the regular N1 to N28 and NC1-NC2 owl buses within Madrid urban core (which are operated by EMT), and connect Madrid with the smaller cities of the periphery.[9] As of June 2022 there are 40 such routes.[8] Green Owl buses are identified by the letter N followed by three numbers (e.g. N101). It has been noted that real-time indicators at bus stops usually display only the number of a route, and not the "N" at the beginning, which can be a cause of confusion for visitors, as the route 101 can have a completely different destination to the route N101 (for example).[10]
