Tourism in bilbao is increasing exponentially over the years, and with it also the transport in Bilbao. The tourism in bilbao exploits many transports that are not exclusively tourist, such as the subway, bus, tram and train.
1.-Metro: It is the most used transport in Bilbao, this is due to its comfortable and extensive schedules and its speed. It is convenient to get a ticket or pass to be able to make multiple trips, this pass is called BARIK. The metro is used to travel from the center of Bilbao to the neighborhoods a little further away or even to travel to the towns near Bilbao. Most of its route is underground, but it has sections that go on the surface.
This transport is practically new with all that this entails (spacious stations, with good access and clean).

They can be differentiated by their colors, Bilbabus uses red buses while bizkaibus uses green buses.
