About:Beijing Capital Airport Shuttle Bus

How long it will be from Beijing airport to Xidan Lu by shuttle bus Line 2? Is there traffic jam in Beijing at 08pm?

My friend and I need to get from Capital Airport to my hotel, which is 600 meters from Changchun Jie Station. We should arrive around 7:30 PM at the airport. I am debating between taking the 1) shuttle bus to taxi option, 2) pure taxi option, or 3) Airport Express Train --> Metro Line 2--> taxi option.

Option 1 will cost me about 42 RMB for two people (32 RMB Bus + 10 RMB taxi). Option 2 will cost 93 RMB without traffic (based on Baidu map)? Option 3 is too troublesome as it involves two metro transfers and then a taxi.

My question is:
1) For Option 1, how long will shuttle bus #2 take to reach the last stop (Xidan Lu)?
2) For Option 2, is there serious traffic in Beijing around 8PM, such that I should expect to pay more than 100 kuai for taxi?

I don't mind paying an extra 50 RMB for the convenience of a pure taxi trip rather than bus. But if it is 100 RMB or more, I would do the bus. Thoughts?
