Detailed description (English): On this 20th anniversary of transport races in Barcelona, and coinciding with the 175th anniversary of the railway in the Iberian Peninsula, from PTP, we propose several simultaneous races, all of them arriving at Estació de França, close to where the first train to Mataró departed! Register soon from our website!
The main objective of the transport race is to show citizens that, often, the car is not as competitive as sustainable mobility. The time spent searching for parking, traffic jams, among others, makes the car not always the fastest option. Additionally, we can also compare the emissions caused by each mode of transportation, verifying how much more a private vehicle pollutes compared to sustainable mobility. Finally, we must also consider the economic cost... with gasoline prices so high, wouldn't it be better to use public transport?

L’objectiu principal de la cursa dels transports és mostrar a la ciutadania que, sovint, el cotxe no és tant competitiu com la mobilitat sostenible. El temps invertit en la cerca d’aparcament, les aturades per embussos, entre d’altres, fan que el cotxe no sigui sempre el més ràpid. A més, podem comparar també l’emissió que suposa l’ús de cada transport, podent comprovar quants cops més contamina el vehicle privat vers la mobilitat sostenible. Finalment, també cal considerar el cost econòmic…. amb el preu de la benzina tant alt, no seria millor utilitzar el transport públic?
Target group(s): All groups of people are expected to participate at this activity.
Objectives: The main objective of the transport race is to calculate and compare the different transport alternatives between two points in terms of total travel time, economic cost, energy and emissions.
Partner: This activity is done in collaboration with BiciHub Barcelona, Metropolitan Transport Authority of Barcelona, Barcelona Council.
