This now costs just \u20ac30.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The taxis here are easy to recognise as they are all white, except for a red strip across the driver&#8217;s door. Only hail taxis when on the street that are showing a green light or have a card with the word &#8220;<em>Libre<\/em>&#8221; showing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure that you only use the metered taxis, and always check for any surcharges.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"metro-madrid\"><\/span>Metro Madrid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the most popular form of transport for getting around the city.
