Public Transport

Public transport in Barcelona is excellent and, if you choose the right ticket, is also quite cheap. Here you will find all the information needed to get around Barcelona.

Metro

The Barcelona metro is one of the cheapest and quickest ways to get around the city.

Tickets

The transport system lets you use different modes of transport with the same ticket: metro, city, metropolitan area and intercity buses, tram, and trains belonging to Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Cataluña and Rodalies de Catalunya.

The cost depends on the number of trips you make a month and the number of zones you need (in case you live outside Barcelona). Here are some of the standard options so that you can choose the card that works best for you:

  • If you make less than 42 trips a month, the cheapest solution is the T-10 card.
  • If you make between 42 and 62 trips, a T50/30 card is a better option.
  • For more than 62 trips, the best option is a T-Mes monthly card.
  • If you intend to use public transport for three months, the best option is a T-Trimestre, the quarterly card that allows you 56 trips a month.
  • If you travel with one or more people (70 trips a month), the T-70/30 will save you money.
  • If you are under 25, the T-Joven youth card lets you make an unlimited number of trips over 90 consecutive days.

Nit Bus
