Inauguration and Expansion
The Tramvia de Barcelona started its first route, the Trambaix, at the beginning of 2004. Now, twenty years later, it has expanded to include a total of six tram lines, covering 29 kilometers of track and with 56 stops. The number of trips made is close to 459 million, demonstrating its importance as a means of public transport in Barcelona.
Continued Expansion
The Tramvia expansion continues with the progress of the works on the new tramway on Diagonal Avenue. The tracks and catenary have already been installed from Plaça de les Glòries to Carrer de Girona (Verdaguer). The Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) is scheduled to complete this rail infrastructure in the spring, with testing to begin immediately.
