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.
