At night it does not go to Atocha. The night service is line N27, which terminates at Cibeles — roughly a kilometer and a half short of Atocha station. If you land after the day service ends and your hotel is by Atocha, plan for that gap.

Journey times are 30 minutes to Terminal 1, 35 to Terminal 2 and 40 to Terminal 4, so which terminal you are at changes the answer by ten minutes.

Your season pass does not work on it. The Abono Transporte covers every other city service and this one is the stated exception.

From seven travelers the regulated taxi is cheaper than seven of these tickets.

It is EUR 33.00 for the car, not per person, so it beats the Expres from seven travelers and costs EUR 4.13 a head at eight.

Most Madrid taxis seat four. The ordinance permits up to nine seats including the driver, but an ordinary car is not one of those — ask at the rank for a large vehicle rather than assuming one will be waiting.

The fare stops at the M-30. For an address outside the ring road the meter runs instead, and no price is given for that here.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The figure here is the road journey the Expres makes over the same ground, and traffic decides the rest.
