The Battle for Public Transportation

Thursday, July 1st, 2010


Excerpt from Grit TV with Laura Flanders. With cities facing budget cuts across the country, public transit service is being slashed and fares are going up. In New York, if a new fare hike is approved, a monthly metro card will cost $103. In LA, there have been two fare increases in the last four years. Washington, DC’s Metro system is proposing extensive bus cuts. Obama’s stimulus bill provides $17 billion for public transit, but how will it be spent? Can public transit be improved–even expanded–during the worst recession in decades? Lindsey Lusher Shute, Director of Transportation Alternatives Environmental Campaigns, David Goldberg, Communications Director of Transportation for America, Gene Russianoff, Staff Attorney of NYPIRGs Straphangers Campaign, and Francisca Porchas, Clean Air Campaign Lead Organizer with the Labor Community Strategy Center in LA on the future of public transportation in the United States.

Barcelona Card and Public Transport in Barcelona

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

 

In Barcelona there are bus, metro, RENFE (Spanish Railway), FGC (Catalan trains), trams and taxis available to the public. The company Metropolitan Transport Body (EMT) is responsible for public transport in Barcelona and its surroundings (18 cities). Most types of transport require the same type of ticket, so you can use the card for the Metro bus and train (though it remains in zone 1). Alternatively, you can get the Barcelona card, which is recommended for visitors to Barcelona. Most transport stops close to all types of accommodation in Barcelona.
With this card you can get many discounts or free admission to museums, cultural institutions, bars, restaurants and other recreational activities. Especially in the case of transport have an advantage because you can use the metro, buses, etc. that you want. This card is also a guide map of the city of Barcelona and is included with the plan of the metro, and a list of all attractions in Barcelona, Hotel de Barcelona (Barcelona hotels) and apartments in Barcelona (Barcelona Apartments) .

Prices are:
• for two days – 24 €
• 3 days – 29 €
• 4 days – 33 €
• 5 days – 36 €
You can buy this card directly from the Tourist Information Centres in Barcelona:
For example, the Plaça de Catalunya, Plaça de Sant Jaume or airport terminals A and B. For more information, please have a look at Turisme de Barcelona.
Barcelona is so great, but also very compact so that you can only see a lot in a short period of time. Of course, the price factor plays a role. As you may know, get a cheap flight is no longer a problem. But do not worry about accommodation Barcelona (Accommodation Barcelona) because there are lots available, especially when you’re in a group.
Here is a brief description of the transport system in Metro de Barcelona – Barcelona Metropolitan Transport (TMB) is responsible for the subway, bus, funicular de Montjuic, the blue tram and bus tour in Barcelona. There are different tickets depending on the duration and number of people. For those who want to stay for a longer period in the city, I recommend buying the T-10 (10 trips) and the T-50/30 (50 trips in 30 days). Tram – The TRAMBAIX extends from the beginning of Avenida Diagonal (Baix Llobregat) and the District of the Olympic Village. In between, there are exchanges with Metro and Renfe.
The ticket system is the same metro station, i. e can change the type of transport without worries. FGC – FGC Trains Barcelona Catalan links with other nearby cities of Terrassa, Sabadell, Manresa. . . If you want to visit the Tibidabo is’ s very convenient to use the FGC, it s fast, secure and simple. RENFE – Spanish national railway RENFE runs between Barcelona and around the neighborhood (“Cercanías”), the rest of Catalonia (Regional), Spain and the remainder outside (“Grans Línies” and “AVE”). Taxi – Taxi here are black and yellow arm just above the roadside to take one. The symbols “Lliure ‘or’ Free ‘, the taxi is free.
