Barcelona's bus fleet is one of the cleanest in Europe as it incorporates hybrid, electric or compressed gas vehicles. The bus network is extensive and consists in fast lines that run through the city horizontally and vertically; conventional lines connecting neighborhoods; neighborhood buses that cover short trips within each neighborhood; and night lines.
Accessibility
Barcelona’s buses are 100% accessible for disabled people. This includes all buses running during the day, night buses and neighbourhood hopper services.
Buses have low-floor easy access as well as a ramp to help passengers with reduced mobility, wheelchair users and people with pushchairs board and alight from the space reserved for them.
As on the Metro, the ticket barriers emit acoustic signals and visual messages to ensure visually and hearing-impaired passengers know if they have validated their ticket correctly.
Announcements at bus shelters and on buses are gradually being implemented as well as visual information on screens.
