169.8 million journeys by public transport were made in Bizkaia in 2017: an increase of 2.5%

The 2017 Report on Public Transport in Bizkaia [Informe del Transporte Público de Bizkaia] drawn up by CTB [Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia – the Bizkaia Transport Consortium] reveals that 109.9 million journeys were made by rail (up 3.8% on 2016) and 54.2 million by bus (up 0.4%).

This increase can be attributed largely to the entry into service of Line 3 of the Metro system. This was undoubtedly one of the landmark events of the year and indeed of public transport in Bizkaia in recent times.

The Autoritat del Transport Metropolità Catalan (Catalan Metropolitan transport Authority) has asked the CTB to use the Barik mobile top-up application patent

Bizkaia and the Catalan public entity working together will help to get the “T-mobilitat” project underway, consisting of the implementation of a new transport management, fare and technological system throughout the territory.

Carme Fábregas, Head of the ATM Innovation and Systems Division: “It is an innovation welcomed not only by Barcelona but also other cities around the world of the ilk of Dubai, which makes Bizkaia a world leader”.

The patent recognised by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) last year endorses the CTB as a trail-blazer in R&D&i, an innovator and ground-breaker resulting in a more cohesive Bizkaia with increasingly better links thanks to its public transport system.

The “Barik NFC” application has already been used for 400,000 top-ups. There were 171,442 in 2017 and 23,799 in June. A total of 108,230 people have registered with the app since it was introduced. There are currently over 1,650,000 active Bariks

CTB has installed energy economizer equipments for a set of Bilbao Metropolitan Railway escalators

In 2016, CTB [Bizkaia Transport Consortium] launched a call to tender to supply and install economizer equipment for a set of Bilbao Metropolitan Railway (FMB) escalators. The project aimed to fit systems to the escalators that would lead to significant savings in electricity and whose economic and technical feasibility had been previously demonstrated in a prototype.

ThyssenKrupp Elevadores, as the successful bidder, executed the contract in 2017.

The cost of the supply was €165,041.14 (including VAT) and the implementation period was 6 months. This project received funding from the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE), an entity under the Spanish Ministry of Energy, Tourism and the Digital Agenda, as part of the grant programme for energy efficiency measures in the railway sector, a programme that in turn is part of the Sustainable Growth Operational Programme 2014-2020, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
