Means of transportation to campus

Metro:
Madrid has an extensive and convenient metro system (see map). Tickets can be bought at stations either from a machine (accepting cash, including notes, bank and credit cards) and usually also from a ticket office. A single trip includes any number of transfers. Buy either a single which costs between €1,50 and €2,00 or a 10 trip card (10 viajes) for €12,20, the latter is also valid for the local EMT buses. Trains typically run from 6am to 1:30am.
Airport Supplement: There is a €3,00 surcharge for trips from and to the airport subway stations: the easiest thing to do is to buy a combined fare+supplement ticket (Billete Sencillo Metro+Suplemento Aeropuerto) which costs between €4,50 and €5,00 and can be bought at any subway station. Should you forget to pay the supplement, then you can buy a supplement ticket (Billete Suplemento Aeropuerto) at the machines located near the exit of the airport's subway stations.

Cercanías Renfe:
Local trains, running regularly withing the province of Madrid (see map). The tickets look very much like the metro tickets, but are NOT the same. Tickets can be bought at stations either from a machine (accepting cash, including notes, bank and credit cards) or from a ticket office. There is a zone system, most of the center is in zone 0, the university in B1, the third zone. Single tickets (for 3 zones) are €1,80 and 10 trip cards (Bonotren) €13,45.
Taxi:
Taxis are numerous and for European standards, reasonably priced. A ride from the airport to the center from 6am to 10pm, costs between €25,- and €30,- (incl. the airport supplement), to Chamartín is slightly cheaper. Supplements: from/to airport €5,25 from train stations €2,75.
Bus:
There are two type of buses, the local ones of the EMT (red or blue) and the Interurbanos (green). For the EMT buses you can buy a single in the bus for €1,50 or use the 10trip metroticket. The interurbanos use separate tickets, which can be bought on the bus. Most bus drivers don't like notes bigger than €5.
