traffic has grown by 17.4%.

In 2003 alone,

by 3.7% vs 2002. The strongest increase
occurred for urban bus traffic (+5.2%),
followed by the regional railways of
Catalonia (+4.2%).

In 2003, the sales of integrated tickets
increased by 11.2% vs 2002, illustrating the
attractiveness of these tickets enabling to

Tickets enabling 10 trips, sold at
the price of €6 for trips inside Barcelona,
account for 76% of all integrated tickets
sold.
