The best Apps to move around Barcelona
06-04-2018
You leave the student residence and just opposite you find the Bicing stop. If you are not yet a user of this service, we recommend it 100%. It is the most economical and sustainable way to get around the city by public transport. In addition, if your university is far away, now bicing can also be your best transportation option, because recently it also has electric bike service.
Bicing has its own app where you can see the nearest stations, bicycles available in real time and free anchors to return the bike. It is the preferred means of transportation for most students of our university residence.
If you prefer to travel by bus, and you are one of the students who always arrive with just the right time, download the UrbanStep app, which tells you the minutes until your bus passes. You can locate the nearest bus stops on the map or look for them by the stop code that is indicated in the marquees.
The metropolitan transport network also has its own app: TMB Virtual. In addition to locating the stops closest to you, it informs you if there is any incident on the line and recommends the best itineraries to reach your destination in the shortest possible time.
Of course, you also have the option of taking a taxi. We already know that it is not the cheapest option, but it takes you out of a hurry at a given moment, especially when you go out at night (and you do not feel like waiting for the Nitbus night bus). Our favorite app is mytaxi App. You create a user, you indicate where you are and in a few minutes you have the taxi driver at the door. The best thing is that the payment is made through the app so it can save you from a hurry if you have forgotten the wallet!
You move as you move in Barcelona, enjoy the journey ... And do not forget that walking is also the healthiest option and the best way to get to know the city
