Felicity Hughes, who blogs and podcasts about Madrid at The Making of Madrid dot com and writes Lonely Planet guides, claims Madrid's public transport system is superior to London's. She highlights its efficiency and affordability, noting that it rarely breaks down except for scheduled August repairs, unlike London's "very old and forever breaking down" underground.

“But the transport system here rarely breaks down.”
“It's really efficient. It's really cheap.”
