Detailed description (English): Next September 21st starting at 6:00 p.m., the PTP, with the collaboration of the ATM Barcelona and within the framework of the European Mobility Week, celebrates the 11th Race of Transport of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona.
Although last year we finished the race with pouring rain, this has not made us stay at home this year. If you want to show that your municipality has the best public transport, sign up for it!
This year, the end point of the race will be at the Bicihub Barcelona, the new headquarters of the PTP starting in November.
The main objective of the transport race is to show citizens that the car is often not as competitive as sustainable mobility. The time spent searching for parking, stoppages due to traffic jams, among others, mean that the car is not always the fastest. In addition, we can also compare the emission that the use of each transport implies, being able to check how many times more the private vehicle pollutes towards sustainable mobility. Finally, we must also consider the economic cost…. With the price of gasoline so high, wouldn't it be better to use public transport?
This year, in addition, we will do a draw at the end of the event among all those who send us photos and videos with the #CursaMetropolitana2022 to their stories, tagging @transportpublic.
All participants will receive a T-casual and cover, courtesy of the Barcelona Area ATM.
Detailed description (original language): El proper dia 21 de setembre a partir de les 18h, la PTP, amb la col·laboració de l’ATM de Barcelona i en el marc de la Setmana Europea de la Mobilitat, celebra la 11a Cursa de Transports de la Regió Metropolitana de Barcelona.
Tot i que l’any passat vam acabar la cursa amb un gran xàfec, això no ha fet que enguany ens quedem a casa. Si vols demostrar que el teu municipi té el millor transport públic, apunta’t-hi!
Aquest any, el punt final de la cursa serà al Bicihub Barcelona, la nova seu de la PTP a partir del mes de novembre.
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?
Aquest any, a més, farem un sorteig al final de l’acte entre tots els que ens feu arribar fotografies i vídeos amb el #CursaMetropolitana2022 a les vostres stories, etiquetant a @transportpublic.
Tots els participants rebran una T-casual i funda.
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 and all the councils where the races start.
