Transport in Badalona

A Trambesòs train at Avinguda del Marquès de Mont-roig.

Public transport in Badalona (Catalonia, Spain) consists of a variety of services operated by several companies, most of them associated with Autoritat del Transport Metropolità, the main transport authority of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. At just over 220,000 inhabitants,[1] Badalona is one of Catalonia's most populated towns, and is located immediately next to the capital Barcelona, along the Mediterranean sea coastline. It is both a dormitory town and a developed city in itself, which makes the proper articulation of transport of vital importance.

Barcelona Metro stations

The branch of L2 serving Badalona was first part of L4. Handover took place in the 1990s, when the construction of L2 took place. The long-announced L10 is currently under construction, but the stations located within the municipality of Badalona, along with some in Barcelona, are already operative as of 2010. An extension of L1 from Fondo, in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, is currently planned.
