The Theme

Barcelona is a city where light shines brightly through its rich Mediterranean culture, beautiful architecture, art, food and social activities.

One pivotal element which allows people to embrace the magic of this charming city is through its well-connected public transport system.

Public transport is the ‘Bright light of the city’. It gives passengers the freedom to discover the city, to commute, meet friends & family, or navigate wherever you need to go. Public transport brings light to any city and energises the lives of all those who use it.

It provides more than a necessary service; it brightens the urban landscape. It is simply the brightest decision you can make to move around the city.

Barcelona: the city Host

Barcelona is the largest metropolis that borders the Mediterranean waters, and it is the second-most densely populated city in Spain after Madrid with its 1.62 million inhabitants. It is a city where culture, art, business, sport and social activities converge on an enchanting seaside urban paradise.

Thanks to Barcelona’s excellent modern and well-developed public transport system you can navigate quickly anywhere in the city. The metro, bus and tram all run at a very tight pace and until late into the night.

The irresistibly charming city is the perfect place for professionals to connect with other like-minded public transport professional and to recharge in the sheer beauty of the city by the sea.
