The Metro subway system in Madrid is about 50% of the stops adapted for wheelchair access. However, most of them are not in the heart of the city. The subway route map, you can get in a subway station or tourist information office, clearly shows you which stations have elevators and are accessible for the disabled.
Taxi Taxi There is a specialized company dedicated to transporting disabled. Eurotaxi called, and there you can book a taxi 24 hours on the phone:

Commuter Trains - Suburban commuter trains
These are part of the national railway company RENFE and work within the community of Madrid. Have a corporate policy to accept passengers with disabilities.
disabled access to bathrooms
In general, in Madrid there are not many public restrooms. Then, the solution is to go to a bar. Not all bars have bathrooms with wheelchair access and, for now, do not have a definitive list of bars that do have them. I would recommend you go to fast food chains, and are managed to international standards in terms of facilities.
Disabled Access in The Tourist Attractions
Although the public transport system is not fully equipped for guests with limited access mobility, you can usually catch a bus and you can always call a taxi. Most of Madrid's main attractions are handicapped accessible and wheelchairs available for rent. For your convenience, each of our articles on attractions and activities to do in Madrid, also clarify which are handicapped accessible.
