Riding it to get around the city, compared to NYC, is also twice as fast. I think that's due to the general layout with the counter-rotating trains acting as a circular hub-spoke design allowing riders to move around the city more efficiently. Imagine being able to go from Rosevelt/74th in Queens (La Guardia Airport) to Times Square in under 30 mins ... Barajas (Madrid Airport) to Plaza del Sol takes about 25-30 mins, including 2 transfers (about $6 including airport surcharge). The last time I took JFK to Penn Plaza (34th st/midtown) on the A-train was 2+ hours; riding the LIRR it was about 30 mins and $20 dollars off-peak.
