The bus network serves Barcelona and the metropolitan area through 109 lines that cover a total distance of 920.62 kilometres. The Barcelona Metro service has 123 stations. It is formed by six lines and a funicular railway. In 2016, TMB carried 578.75 million passengers. It has 7,744 employees.[1]

There is also an authority in Barcelona that seeks to coordinate and integrate other public transport companies (such as TRAMMET, for the local trams) into the same network, Autoritat del Transport Metropolità.

Logo history

TMB changed its logo in 2014 after introducing a stencil-style variant of Helvetica for their publicity.

  • First logo (1983–2004)
  • Second and current logo (since 2004, still in use officially)
  • Third logo (2014–15)
gollark: I think I will just go for storing old stuff compressed and hope it doesn't cause problems.
gollark: git would really not be a good choice:- the flat-hierarchy thing would probably be problematic, I hear filesystems do not like directories with tons of files in them- would have to deal with git's bad CLI- would have to incur the significant overhead of running an external process to do stuff- no easy way to do on-disk encryption (for SQLite, I can swap in SQLCipher easily)- external state (in git) means more complex code still
gollark: Now, I *could* overhaul it to use text files and git, but that would be extremely annoying.
gollark: Fossil?
gollark: This uses SQLite as a data storage backend.
