    Metro, Funicular and FGC

    The Barcelona metro network and the Catalan government's city and suburban rail service, the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya, are among the most accessible and efficient transport systems in terms of energy and air pollutant emissions. They run more frequently than buses and on some routes you can transfer from one train to another with the same ticket.
    Barcelona currently has eight metro lines that can be identified by the number and colour of the line: L1 (red), L2 (lilac), L3 (green), L4 (yellow), L5 (blue), L9N and L9S (orange), L10N and L10S (light blue), L11 (light green) and serve most of the city.
    The Barcelona funicular railway connects the city with Montjuïc Park from Paral·lel (lines L2 and L3) metro station. It is included in the integrated fare system and can also be used with multi-journey travel passes. The two-minute journey time makes it the quickest and most convenient way to get to Montjuïc.
    It also has an urban and metropolitan rail network the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat (FGC), run by the Catalan government, which supplements Barcelona's metro network. There are three urban lines: L6, L7 and L8.
