Photographic exhibition A sea open to everyone

Reflecting on the oceans at the Espai Mercè Sala

When: 14.06.2024 to 05.09.2024

Where: Espai Mercè Sala - Fundació TMB

Access: Free entry

Until 5 September, the Espai Mercè Sala will be presenting an exhibition organised by the Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation, which looks at humankind's relationship with the oceans through a series of photographs.

Promoted by the Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation in collaboration with the TMB Foundation, the exhibition shows images that bring to mind questions about the oceans: how we experience them, enjoy them, suffer them and need them.
The 25 photographs offer a reflection on the relationship we have with the sea according to where in the world we were born, from different perspectives, and on the relationship that human beings have with the oceans, from an artistic and creative perspective. The authors are amateur and professional photographers who have shared their unique vision of the sea.

Under the slogan “What would a sea open to everyone be like?,” the Barcelona Capital Nàutica Foundation organised an international photography competition that sought to find the most iconic image of what the sea means for humans. More than 2.500 photographs were received from all over the world. The finalist photographs can be seen at the Espai Mercè Sala exhibition.

The TMB Foundation, aligned with the values of the America’s Cup

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.

How to ask for help in the metro if you feel unwell?

Check how to do it.

I'm feeling unwell on the metro. What should I do?

When you travel with TMB you are not alone. If you feel unwell on the metro, whether you are on the platform or on a train, ask for help through the yellow SOS intercom system found on all platforms at metro stations.

The metro has 2,300 intercoms located on all platforms and station halls.

What is the best way to ask for help?

If you start feeling unwell it is advisable to get off the train at the nearest station and ask for help via the intercom system or get somebody to ask for you. This way you will be attended to more quickly and efficiently.

If your first symptoms appear before getting on the train, stay on the platform and press the SOS button on the platform’s yellow intercom.

What should you do if you witness a cardiac arrest?

If you suspect that another traveller is suffering a cardiac arrest, the metro network is a cardiac protected area. You should remove the defibrillator from the box and follow the instructions.
