Bus

Barcelona has a transport fleet of more than 1000 buses which operate on over 100 routes and connect all the city's districts and the metropolitan area. The city buses are single deckers and are adapted for people with reduced mobility. They are fitted with access ramps and designated seating. Buses are also adapted for people with functional disabilities. There are visual and sonic alert systems for blind or visually impaired passengers at the bus stops which are activated via the accessible information device. There is signage in braille by the ticket validating machine inside the bus to allow passengers to read the number of the bus they are travelling on. There are other metropolitan bus routes that connect Barcelona with neighbouring towns.
