New connections between trams and Barcelona metro systems

In a few days' time, Barcelona's metro lines L1, L2, L4 and L5 will be enjoying new connections with the tram network. In fact, in November, the Barcelona tramway will extend its route by around 2 kilometres to reach Verdaguer, from Glories, in no more than 7 minutes, with 3 new stations. The Verdaguer stom, at the foot of the metro station of the same name, provides a link with the yellow and blue lines (L4 and L5), Monumental tram station will be linked to the line L2, and the Glories stop will be connected to the red line (L1). There are no links with the metro at Sicilia tram station.

New functions on the T-Mobilitat card

The evolution of the Barcelona metro's T-Mobilitat pass, planned for the coming days, will include a new functionality. Up to now, the T-Mobilitat public transport cards only allowed you to choose one transport ticket at a time among the tickets available for T-Mobilitat, and recharge it up to 2 times simultaneously. From now on, on the same card or the same support, it will be possible to reload (whether from vending machines as well as by mobile phone) several different tickets such as T-Casual + T-Familiar, or identical, from different areas. Your T-Mobilitat support (card or phone) allows you to include up to 4 tickets.
To select the transport card you wish to use, among those you have added on your phone, you will only have to select the one you want to use ; if you have opted for cardboard T-Mobilitat, the choice will be made on one of the vending machines in the metro stations.

Barcelona metro prices to rise in 2025

From 1 January 2025, Barcelona metro ticket prices will return to the prices they were before the implementation of subsidies rate cuts. In fact, discounts and reductions in application since 2022 for the public transport network use, with the aim to face the economic crisis, will not be renewed.
As a result, this change in the price of public transport in the Catalan capital will bring a significant increase in the various passes available for the tram, bus, train and metro in Barcelona.
- The T-Usual card, (ticket valid for unlimited journeys during 30 days) will increase from €21.35 to €42.70 after the elimination of the 50% reduction.
- The T-Jove card, (unlimited travel during 3 months for young people under the age of 25) will rise from 42.70 euros to 85.40 euros.
On the other hand, the T-Casual ticket (10 travels) which currently costs €12.15, and the single journey ticket (Senzill) at a price of €2.55 would not be subject to a price increase that were not affected by the price changes. Taking also into account that, l'année dernière, the ATM (Metropolitan Transport Authority) had announced a 6.75% metro ticket prices increase, an additional increase in the significant inflation in the cost of Barcelona transport tickets cannot be ruled out.

More vigilance in the Barcelona metro system

in order to improve safety, supervision and the efficient use of the metro of Barcelona, the TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) plans to increase progressively, over the next four years, the deployment of 50 additional security guards to reach a total of 800 security agents that will be split between Securitas and Prosegur companies, on one side, as well as the installation of additional cameras, bringing the total number of security devices to 10,000, which will cover each of the 165 stations in the network, on the other side.

Temporary suspension of work on line L9 of the Barcelona metro

Contrary to the initial plan to complete work on line 9 of the Barcelona metro before 2030, the extension of the line has been temporarily suspended. In fact, after reaching the basement of Bonanova, the rotating cutting wheel which was continuing to evolve with complications linked to the state of the base material to be perforated, has reached the end of its life ; as a result, the development of the L9 line will begin again its way in 14 months' time, time to replace the equipment. However, the Guinardó-Hospital Sant Pau, Maragall, La Sagrera and La Sagrera TAV stations could be completed in 2027.

Partial closing of Barcelona L2, L4, L5 and L10 N metro lines

As a result of work to improve the infrastructure, concerning the section of the L5 line running from Cornellà Centre to Collblanc, the traffic will be cut off from Tuesday 25 June to Sunday 1 September included ; the operation of the rest of the line will not be affected.
During the partial interruption of the line L5, and in the aim of not immobilising the daily life of users of this line, shuttles will run along the same route, at the same timetables, with the exception of the Can Vidalet station.
This means that Passengers wishing to travel to the Can Vidalet area will have to exit at Can Serra and then continue their journey by another bus.
About the L2 line, in order to resolve transport comfort problems, the section from Paral-lel to Sagrada Família will be closed from 25 June to 25 August.
What about the L4 line, track enhancements are also planned ; the section linking La Pau and Selva de Mar stations will be inaccessible from 27 July to 22 August.
For Barcelona metro lines L2 and L4, shuttle buses will also be available to compensate for the lack of metro services.
The L10 Nord line will also be impacted by the improvement works planned for this summer. Only the section that links La Salut and Gorg stations will be upgraded, it will be out of service from Monday 5 August to Sunday 25 August included. However, the route running between the stations La Sagrera and La Salut will provide a normal service during these 3 weeks.

Carton T-Mobilitat card new use

Since the gradual suppression of the traditional tickets from metro vending machines, the cardboard T-Mobilitat card, which does not require prior registration and costs 0.50 euros on first purchase, is available in the stations. On many occasions, messages are broadcast to remind users that this transport pass, which allows to choose among T-casual (unipersonal 10-trip card), the T-Familiar (8 trips shareable in 30 days) as well as the T-Grup (70 journeys to share in 30 days) passes, is rechargeable and can be reused in order to keep it.

Plans for Barcelona's metro network

With the aim of expanding Barcelona's metro network, improve the connections between trains, streetcars, buses and the metro, as well as facilitating public transport access to Barcelona's neighbouring municipalities and other poorly served areas, several projects have been launched and will make way for 40 new metro stations by 2030.
What about Barcelona metro line L1 (red line), which currently runs from Fondo to Bellvitge, it is planned, on one side, the creation of 5 new stations (Montigalà; Lloreda | Sant Crist; Bufalà; Badalona Pompeu Fabra and Badalona) in the aim of connecting train and metro to Badalona by the end of 2031. On the other hand, on the other side of the line 1, the project would include an extension from Bellvitge to Prat de Llobregat, and, in addition to the existing connection at the "Torrassa" stop, would create a new connection between lines L1 and L9.
About Barcelona's L2 metro line (Barcelona purple metro line), 2 new stations are scheduled to simplify access to Montjuic. On one side of the hill, a stop called Montjuic would be located between the Montjuic Magic Fountain and the National Palace (National Museum of Catalan Art), as well as a second stop named Foixarda which would be housed in the street of the same name, providing, among other attractions, easy access to the Poble Espanyol. On the opposite side of Montjuic mountain, the route of the extension of the line 2 would include the Foc station of the L10 line, and would pass through Fira and Parc Logistic.
On the Green Line (line L3), which currently runs from Zona Universitaria to Trinitat Nova, the project includes, on one side, a wide extension of 8 stations to link the towns of Esplugues, Sant Just d'Esvern, Sant Joan Despi and Sant Feliu de Llobregat to the Barcelona metro network.
- Finestrelles | Sant Joan de Déu stop will facilitate access to the Esplugues shopping mall of the same name, as well as the Sant Joan de Déu hospital.
- Pont d'Esplugues metro station, as well as Sant Just Centre, Hospital Sant Joan Despí | TV3, Avinguda Barcelona, Sant Joan Despí i Torreblanca, Pla del Vent and Sant Feliu stops will provide access to tramway lines T1, T2 or T3, Rodalies R1 and R4 train lines or Torreblanca Park, among others.
On the other side, at the other end of line L3, the development includes a connection between the Trinitat Nova and Trinitat Vella districts.
Concerning the future of the yellow line, Barcelona metro line 4, which currently runs between the districts of Trinitat Nova and Sant Marti, 2 new metro stations (Santander and Estació de la Sagrera) will facilitate access to the La Sagrera high-speed train station.
As for line L9, 3 successive phases will continue the work to link the northern and southern parts. The Lesseps, Guinardó and Sagrera-TAV stations will be the first stage of the project, the Camp Nou, Sarrià, Mandri, Sanllehy and Plaça Maragall stops will be part of the second phase of opening, then the Campus Nord, Manuel Girona and Putxet stations will form the third part of the plan.
To complete the list of projects to expand Barcelona's metro network, The L10 line, like the L9 line, will welcome the Camp Nou station in 2027. The route's end point will be the new Motors and Pratenc stations.

New Barcelona metro ticket prices for 2024

After having maintained the same prices for three years, the price of Barcelona's metro, as well as the city's public transport services, will be increased and will continue to benefit from discounts on certain tickets.
On the one hand, the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) has announced a 6.75% increase in the price of public transport in Barcelona in 2024 ; On the other hand, after a meeting, the Spanish authorities have informed us that the 30% reduction will be maintained and that the autonomous communities will have to contribute the remaining 20%, which will allow many tickets to continue to benefit from a 50% reduction.
To sum up, after increases and reductions applied, the price of a single trip will rise from €2.40 to €2.55, the T-Casual ticket for 10 journeys will rise from €11.35 to €12.15, the monthly card T-Usual will increase by €1.35 and cost €21.35, the trimestrial card for young people T-Jove will cost 42.70 € against 40 €, the T-Dia day pass will change from €10.50 to €11.20, the T-Familiar card designed for families will cost 70 cents more, rising to €10.70 and the metro card for groups (T-Grup) will rise from €79.45 to €84.80.

New payment method for the 1-trip ticket

Again with the aim to eliminate the printing of Barcelona metro tickets in paper format, the transport ticket valid for 1 journey only can now be obtained using your bank card.
Already in use on the TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) bus network, the "Bitllet senzill" (single-use ticket) is purchased when you pass your visa.
This new payment system, which has been progressively implemented since September, and currently in the test phase in some underground stations, simply consists of swiping the contactless of your bank card over the ticket reader on the turnstiles to get access to the metro trains.
In the event of a check, users will simply have to give the last 4 digits of the card they used to buy their Barcelona metro ticket.

Extension of Barcelona metro line 1

Before 2030, the government plans to connect the cities of Badalona and Barcelona via new metro stations on the red line.
Currently equipped with the L10 North line, which covers various strategic points in the city of Badalona, as well as the L2 line which provides access to the Catalan capital, the project to equip Badalona with new stops by extending Barcelona's metro line L1 (red) will provide residents of this municipality a second line giving access to the heart of Barcelona and its must-see tourist attractions.
From the Fondo station to Lloreda San Crist in the first instance, then from Bufalà to Bardalona station in a second phase, the new section of the line 1 will also connect metro and trains at Badalona Renfe train station.

Barcelona metro ticket prices stabilised

In September 2022, the government allocated subsidies to reduce the prices of various Barcelona metro cards.
At the beginning of 2023, these discounts were extended to encourage the use of public transport, and were due to be reviewed halfway through the year. On 27 June 2023, the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) announced that the discount on the T-Usual (monthly metro card) and the T-Jove (quarterly travel card for young people under 25) would be maintained until the end of the year.
As a result, the price of the T-Usual card (Zone 1) remains at €20 and the price of the T-Jove card (Zone 1) has stabilised at €40.

Barcelona T4 tramway line shut down

Vall d'Hebron metro stop becomes Vall d'Hebron Sant Genis
As mentioned by the ATM (Autoritat del Transport Metropolità) in 2022, in order to provide more information about physical spaces and to make the names of some tram, train and metro stations in Barcelona more understandable in relation to their location, some station names would be revised.
As a result, from 1 April 2023, the Vall d'Hebron metro station, which is served by the L3 and L5 metro lines, will become Vall d'Hebron - Sant Genis.

temporary closure of the access to the Glories stop on line 1
The progress of the works in the Plaça de les Glories park requires the temporary closure of the access to the Glories metro station from the square.
As a result, from 13 February, and for an estimated period of 8 months, the Glories stop on line 1 of the Barcelona metro will be inaccessible until October from the plaza de les Glòries Catalanes.

Mandatory masks are no longer required in Barcelona metro
After months of compulsory wearing of the anti-covid mask in the Barcelona metro, as well as in all public transport in the city, this is no longer the case from today; trains, taxis or metro, transport users can once again travel unmasked.

Temporary ban on electric scooters in the metro
After one of these vehicles caught fire in a Ferrocarrils (FGC trains) carriage last November, it was decided that each operator of Barcelona's different public transport networks (metro, trains, buses) would prohibit users of personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) from boarding, at the risk of receiving a €200 penalty for non-compliance.
A proposal to regulate the access of these facilities to public transport will be developed by the ATM (Autoritat del Transport Metropolità).

Get your order delivered in the metro of Barcelona
In order to improve the environmental impact of delivering packages at home, the TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) and the InPost group (Europe's leading home delivery company) are implementing a package delivery system at various stations on the Barcelona metro.

Barcelona metro 2023 ticket prices
From September to December 2022, the government had introduced a number of subsidies aimed at reducing the price of Barcelona's transport tickets in order to make it easier to travel by public transport in Barcelona.
As these subsidies are extended for the year 2023, tickets benefiting from this reduction (such as the monthly pass) will remain at the same price as the previous year.
As a result, from 1 January 2023, the prices of the Barcelona metro will be the same for the T-Usual card (metro card valid for 30 days), which will remain at 20 euros; the single ticket for 10 journeys (T-Casual) will not change and will remain at 7.95 euros; and the price of the T-Jove card (90 consecutive days for those under 25 years old) will remain at 40 euros.

The new segment of the line 2 will allow, among other things, access to the Montjuic fountains via the Montjuic station, or the Olympic ring accessible via the La Foixarda station.
This extension will facilitate access to the centre of Barcelona from the airport del Prat thanks to the connection with the line 2 which, among other things, serves the Sagrada Familia, the Passeig de Gracia, and takes us to the Plaça Catalunya and the Ramblas via the Universitat metro stop.

The T-Casual in digital format
A new barcelona metro card is getting a makeover to join the digital format of T-Mobilitat. It is now possible to load the 10-trip T-casual card (formerly called T-10) at any TMB ticket dispenser, which joins the T-Usual card (valid for all your journeys for 30 days on the integrated operators' transport), the T-Jove card and the T-Familiar card (8-trip card for travelling with several people at the same time with a single ticket).

According to estimates, by 2024, the plastic T-Mobilitat card, which will replace the paper transport card, will be available throughout Catalonia.

Setting up a system to locate your metro
In order to inform passengers about the waiting time for the next metro train to arrive on the platform, some Barcelona metro stations are equipped with display panels that indicate at which stations the next metro trains on the line are located.

Metro, tram and train stations change names
