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

La Red de Oficinas del Tansporte Público de Bizkaia se amplía con una nueva en Gernika que ha abierto sus puertas en la estación de Euskotren de la localidad bizkaina. La directora de Transportes del Gobierno Vasco, Janire Bijueska, y el Director Gerente del Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia (CTB), Gorka Ugalde, acompañados por el Director General de Euskotren, Imanol Leza, han presentado los servicios que se prestarán a la ciudadanía a través de esta nueva oficina ubicada en la estación de Euskotren de Gernika (Plaza Estación, s/n bajo).

La oficina de Gernika se suma a la red de Oficinas del Transporte Público impulsada por el CTB. En ella se podrán tramitar aspectos relacionados con la tarjeta Barik y gestiones propias del servicio de Euskotren. Junto con la de Durango, abierta al público hace aproximadamente un año, se acerca el servicio a las comarcas de Busturialdea y Durangaldea.

El horario de apertura al público es de 08.00 a 20.00 horas, de lunes a viernes laborables, excepto verano y puentes entre festivos. Durante el verano, el horario será especial en los meses de julio y agosto y puentes entre festivos, de 08.00 a 15.00 horas, de lunes a viernes laborables.

On 29 June, the Euskotren Public Transport Customer Service Office at Atxuri Station will be closed and a new office will be opened in Gernika, at the Euskotren station on 5 July.

The address of the new office in Gernika is: Plaza Estación, s/n bajo. And its opening hours are as follows:
Monday to Friday (not Bank Holidays): 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.
Monday to Friday (not Bank Holidays) in July and August: 8.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.

The CTB General Manager, Gorka Ugalde, presented the prizes at the CTB Office at San Mamés station and thanked the participants. Karen Amaia Bilbao won the “Public Transport” category for her “Circula en verde" photograph.

Due to the Machine-tool Biennial, the park & ride facility at the BEC will not be operational in the week of 28 May – 1 June. Please excuse any inconvenience.

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).

This morning the CTB (Bizkaia Transport Consortium) welcomed an official visit from a Ukrainian delegation who wished to see Bizkaia’s public transport system for themselves. CTB General Manager Gorka Ugalde acted as host for the visitors, who included staff from the municipal authorities in Lviv interested in the process of creating, implementing and managing the Barik system across all areas and modes of public transport in Bizkaia, and in its impact on sustainable mobility in the territory.

CTB’s Barik NFC app has now been used for over 275,000 top-ups, with an average of 645 per day. 131,134 users have now downloaded this free app which enables Barik cards to be topped up from mobile phones running on Android.
In 2017 the OPEM (Spanish Office of Patents & Marks) granted a patent to the CTB (Bizkaia Transport Consortium) for this pioneering system for topping up Barik cards via mobile phones while safeguarding the security of the general system.
There are currently almost 1.6 million Barik cards in circulation.

The Transport Consortium of Biscay, in collaboration with Metro Bilbao, will take part again this year in the Children's Christmas Park with the installation of a stand for the entertainment of children and young people. The aim is to promote the use of public transport and the Barik card.
