Additionally, €50,000 is allocated for the implementation of the winning prototype and the deployment of the pilot project.
Background
Inaugurated on December 30, 1924, the Barcelona metro has become the city's most used public transportation system, comprising 8 lines and 165 stations, serving over a million passengers daily. Despite its convenience, speed, and safety, there is room to improve the user experience, particularly in lengthy transfers like the one between lines L3 and L4 at Passeig de Gràcia. This project, a collaboration between BIT Habitat, TMB, and the Fundació Barcelona Music Lab, seeks to address this by leveraging music and innovation.
