Account-based contactless ticketing for the Barcelona metropolitan area, run by transport authority ATM (Autoritat del Transport Metropolità) and operated by TMB. Contracted in 2014, it launched only in January 2022 after roughly six years of delays and cost overruns of at least €37M. It replaces the cardboard T-Casual/T-Usual passes with a rechargeable smart card, the TMB mobile app, or an anonymous cardboard chip card across metro, bus, tram and rail. The switchover finished in 2026: integrated passes went T-mobilitat-only on 28 November 2025, and from 22 April 2026 metro stations stopped selling magnetic/paper tickets entirely.
