We are always there

The metro and buses have real-time video surveillance cameras so you can travel safely.

Thanks to video surveillance systems, TMB professionals ensure your safety during all service hours, both on the metro and bus.

Video surveillance in the metro

The metro network has almost 10,000 cameras that are distributed throughout trains and stations, as well as in depots, workshops and other TMB facilities.

These cameras allow users to see what is happening live when they press the SOS or information button on a train or station. The images captured by these video surveillance devices are received by the Metro Control Centre and the Civil Protection and Security Centre.

Video surveillance on the bus

The bus network has more than 4,500 cameras that currently cover practically all of the fleet's regular service.

This video surveillance system allows the Bus Safety Control Center to view images from inside the vehicles in real time, as well as download any of the recordings instantly.

Images available to security forces

The images captured by these video surveillance devices on both the bus and metro networks are recorded and can be reviewed when the Mossos d'Esquadra or other security forces require it.

Exhibition QUINCE, Through the Eyes of a Generation

The Street Child Foundation brings visibility to the lives of children surviving in terrible conditions around the world.

When: 06.09.2024 to 31.12.2024


Where: Espai Mercè Sala - Fundació TMB


Access: Free entry*

*Validating the transport tiquet

Street Child Spain Foundation and TMB Foundation present the photography exhibition <em>QUINCE: Through the Eyes of a Generation</em> at Espai Mercè.

This exhibition is a participatory photography project carried out in collaboration with local photographers from Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Ukraine, and Uganda, who led photographic creation workshops with 15-year-olds in these unique and complex corners of the world. From areas of active conflict and refugee camps to remote communities, this exhibition explores what it means to be 15 years old in drastically different contexts.

The origin of this exhibition is based on a successful pilot participatory photography project by the Street Child Foundation in collaboration with Nigerian independent photographer and filmmaker Nelson Apochi Owoicho, aimed at empowering and inspiring girls at risk of dropping out of school in Nigeria. Later, in each of the countries, Street Child worked with local photographers and partners to organize participatory photography workshops with 15-year-olds.

Alongside the foundation's educational programs in these communities, the training provided them with the opportunity to express themselves through creativity.

The added value of this exhibition lies in the opportunity to offer children and young people, who are the driving force of change and the primary reason for Street Child's existence, an expressive tool and a safe space to tell their own stories. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of their education for their personal development and that of their communities.

With this initiative, TMB Foundation showcases the work of a social entity developing cooperation and development projects, aligning with the TMB Solidarity project, while also focusing on the education of children and adolescents, in line with the TMB Education project.

100% electric bus routes

H16 and V15, zero emission routes.

The canopies of the H16 and V15 lines show specific vinyls that inform that the lines that stop there are served by zero-emission buses.

H16 and V15 are the first fully zero emission bus lines. The H16 line was the first in the city to be completely converted to zero emissions in 2016. The V15 line was also made a zero emission service at the start of 2023.  

Electricbuses are autonomous and fully operational throughout the day, without the need for bulky and heavy batteries. 

The most notable is the vehicle charging system, which is equipped with a folding pantograph device on the roof that is attached to the fast charging points located at the ends of the line. En-route fast charging is combined with slow night-time charging at the depot, where the corresponding equipment has also been installed. 

In addition to having a fast-charge capability while in service, the buses on these lines incorporate significant technological advances and represent a major step forward in terms of the environmental quality and safety levels provided by urban public transport.

Electrification is one of the main axes for renovating and updating Barcelona's urban buses environmentally.

When travelling by bus, take it easy

Your journey will be more agile and practical, and you will also make the driver's job easier.

Raise your hand when you want to get on the bus

When you're at the stop and your bus is approaching, raise your hand early enough to let the driver know you want to get on.

The driver will put on the right turn signal to indicate that he will stop and open the first door, or the first and second doors, so that you and the other passengers can get on.

Press the button when you want to get off

When the bus approaches your stop, press the Stop button in advance to notify the driver you want to get off.

An audible alert will sound, and the message Requested Stop will light up inside the vehicle. This lets the driver know there are passengers getting off at the next stop and they will stop accordingly.

When travelling by metro, do so safely

We ensure your safety, but you should also avoid actions that could endanger your well-being and the proper functioning of the service.

Never go down to the tracks

Mai no baixis a les vies. No ho facis sota cap concepte.

  • Si has de creuar a l’altra andana, fes-ho utilitzant les escales o els ascensors.
  • Si t’ha caigut algun objecte a la via, acciona l’intèrfon SOS de l’andana i t’ajudarem a recuperar-lo quan sigui possible.
  • Actua cívicament, respecta les instal·lacions.

Baixar a la via, no és la via. Comporta risc de mort.

Do not board the train when the doors are closing

Quan s’activa l’avís de tancament de portes, no es pot entrar ni sortir del vagó.

  • Si arribes a l’andana i el tren fa sonar l’avís de tancament de portes (sonora i visual), és imprescindible que el respectis i esperis el següent tren.

Un cop s’inicï l’avís sonor/visual, ja no s’hi pot pujar.

  • Si ets a bord del tren i t’adones tard que has de baixar, cal que esperis a la següent estació. Quan hi arribis, podràs baixar i tornar enrere fins on volies anar.

Un cop s’inicï l’avís sonor/visual, ja no s’hi pot baixar.

  • Mai no intentis forçar les portes del tren. Hi podries quedar atrapat i patir un accident molt greu.

If you feel unwell on the metro, ask for help

Tant si ets a l’andana com dins el vagó, fer servir l’intèrfon SOS. El metro disposa de 2.300 intèrfons distribuïts a totes les andanes i vestíbuls de les estacions.

  • Quan comencis a trobar-te malament, surt del tren en el possible i demana ajuda a l’intèrfon SOS de l’andana, o mira si algú ho pot fer per tu.
  • Si els símptomes apareixen abans de pujar al tren, queda’t a l’andana i prem el botó SOS de l’intèrfon.
  • Si sospites que una persona està patint una aturada cardíaca, localitza el desfibril·lador a l’andana i segueix les instruccions. La xarxa de metro està cardioprotegida.
