The Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid (also known as EMT Madrid) is the company charged with the planning of public urban transport in the city in Madrid, Spain. The organization is wholly owned by the City Council of Madrid and is a member of the Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid.[2] Among the services provided by EMT Madrid are urban bus transportation as well as the BiciMAD bicycle-sharing system.

EMT Madrid, Europe's second-largest municipal bus operator, achieved a significant milestone by completing the elimination of all diesel buses from its fleet by the end of 2022.[3] This transition resulted in a fully modernized fleet consisting solely of gas-powered, hybrid, and fully electric buses.[4]
