"Creating- and maintaining- the shift from urban automobile travel to public
transport is a complex task. As emissions reduction targets loom ahead, cities
and regions across the world are finding new and innovative ways to achieve
this transition.

In Barcelona a large effort is underway to encourage drivers to replace car
travel with public transit. Since 2017, the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona has
provided over 12,000 metropolitan tickets to those that gave up their private
vehicle.

The metropolitan T-verda ("T-green") ticket is delivered free of charge to
citizens that decide to give up their polluting vehicle. The title allows for
unlimited and free use of the public transport services across the zones from 1
to 6 of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona for a duration of three years."
