TMB's integrated travel card system allows travel on buses, metro, the tram and the two train services Renfe and FGC. It also allows transfers of up to an hour and a half to an hour and a quarter from the first validation of the card. The card must be validated at each transfer regardless of the means of transport. It is very important to have the card at hand until the end of the trip.

Recommendations:
-In some metro or train stations, you have to insert the travel card to be able to leave the station at the end of the trip, this is why it is very important to have it at hand.
-You must always validate your old travel card when using public transport.
-If you are stopped by an inspector and you do not have the metro card, the minimum fine is 100 €.
