Travellers with Disabilities
Some hotels and public institutions have wheelchair access. All buses in Barcelona are
wheelchair accessible and a growing number of Metro stations are theoretically wheelchair
accessible (generally by lift, although there have been complaints that they are only any
good for parents with prams). In all, about 80% of stops have been adapted (you can check
which ones by looking at a network map here:
www.tmb.cat/en/transport-accessible
)
. Tick-
et vending machines in Metro stations are adapted for the disabled and have Braille options
for the blind.
Several taxi companies have adapted vehicles including
Taxi Amic
(
93 420 80 88;
93 303 09 09)
and
Radio Taxi 033
(
93 303 09 09)
.
Most street crossings in central Barcelona are wheelchair-friendly.

council's
