Getting around Barcelona by metro can be free for 3 years. The Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) offers this possibility to those who have disposed of a vehicle without an environmental label in the last 12 months.
The T-Verda (or T-Verde) card is a personal transport ticket valid for 3 years that allows free travel on the entire public transport network of Barcelona (Bus Metropolità, TMB, TRAM, Cercanías and FGC).
