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.

Two changes: line 8 to line 10 at Nuevos Ministerios, then line 10 to line 1 at Tribunal. The ride time above is the three trains only — finding the platform at each change is not counted.

From Terminal 4 the single ticket costs EUR 1.70 rather than EUR 1.50, one station-band up: EUR 4.70 with the supplement, not EUR 4.50.

The EUR 3.00 airport supplement is charged on your way OUT at Sol, not when you board — a plain EUR 1.50-1.70 single bought at the airport machine is not enough on its own.

The other way to Nuevos Ministerios, via line 6 to Cuatro Caminos then line 1, is about three minutes slower — this route is quicker.
