Bilbao

Spain ยท Consorcio de Transportes de Bizkaia (CTB) / Bizkaiko Garraio Partzuergoa

Bilbao offers strong physical interchange at compact multi-modal hubs (San Mamรฉs, Casco Viejo, Abando) and broad Barik smart-card coverage across metro, rail, tram and buses, with full Basque-wide interoperability completed in late 2025. Weaker areas are MaaS integration (bike-share is siloed), the still-pending zone reform that would enable free inter-operator transfers, and the absence of a single unified app.

Physical Interchange
7.7/10

Underground interchanges at San Mamรฉs, Abando, and Casco Viejo enable seamless multi-modal connections across metro, tram, and bus within short walks, though wayfinding consistency across all operators remains incomplete.

Ticketing & Fares
7.0/10

Bilbao's unified Barik card spans eight transit operators with emerging contactless options, but lacks complete fare integration across modes with only partial interchange discounts and incomplete multi-operator capping pending zone reform.

Digital Information
7.0/10

Official Metro Bilbao app integrates timetables across metro, Euskotren, trams and Cercanรญas; Bilbobus has its own app and Moovit/Google cover the network well, but no single unified MaaS app exists.

System Integration
4.7/10

Metro's frequent daytime service enables casual transfers without coordination, but fragmented fares, siloed bike-share apps, and thin Sunday coverage prevent true system integration.
