Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) Joins Forces with CARNET to Boost Innovation in Public Transport

CARNET welcomes Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) as its newest partner. Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) is the common name for the companies Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, SA, and Transports de Barcelona, SA, which manage the metro and bus network in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area.

Also comprising entities such as Projectes i Serveis de Mobilitat, SA, managing the Montjuïc cable car, and Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona, SL, overseeing fare products via the Hola Barcelona e-commerce platform, TMB extends its influence into various transport services and municipalities. Additionally, it includes the TMB Foundation, which looks after the historical heritage of TMB and promotes the values of public transport through social and cultural activities.

As the primary public transport operator in Barcelona, TMB plays a crucial role in the daily lives of citizens as it is the leading public transport operator in Catalonia (549,790,000 passengers carried in 2022) and a point of reference for citizen mobility in Europe and the rest of the world. Operating two vital transport networks—bus (surface transport) and metro (underground)— offers in addition leisure transport services to meet the diverse needs of its users. Through its service, TMB is dedicated to:

      • Meeting mobility needs: TMB strives to make journeys faster and more comfortable, catering to the dynamic mobility needs of Barcelona’s residents.
      • Accessibility for all: TMB is committed to providing a public service that is accessible to everyone, contributing to an inclusive and connected community.
      • Enhancing quality of life: By shortening distances between towns and saving time for residents, TMB actively contributes to improving the quality of life in the Barcelona metropolitan area.

As TMB joins hands with CARNET, both entities will develop collaborative initiatives that intend to keep advancing future mobility. TMB joins a pool of other public transport operators who already belong to CARNET’s ecosystem, boosting innovation in the field and allowing these organizations to incorporate the most modern technology to improve the offered services.

This partnership signifies a collective commitment to elevating public transport innovation, fostering sustainable mobility, and ensuring that Catalonia remains at the forefront of transportation solutions.
