Taking the Bus with Kids

If you have a travel card, validate it at one of the 2 machines as you enter the bus. If not buy your ticket from the driver and try not to pay with amounts of more than €5.00. There are preferential seats for people carrying young children, (along with the elderly and those with reduced mobility), so make sure you take a special seat when available. Those with prams will find 2 parking spaces on the bus where you can stand with your child. A polite nod or nudge will usually prompt any pramless travellers occupying these areas to step aside for you. Don’t forget to put on the brakes as in the city traffic you can often be subject to a jerky ride.

There are various travel card options that will enable you to get the best deal for your family. Children under 4 travel free. After that they pay the same ticket price as adults.  The T12 ticket for 4-12 year olds is a travel pass available to Zone 1, resident children. Find out more about the Targeta T12 in Barcelona
