Public transportation
If you want to have all the information about the public transportation, from schedules of trains to maps, etc., there are several apps that can help you. TMB app will show you useful information about buses and metro, schedules, etc. Last but not least! Download the Bicing app if you like to use the bikes you will find around the city center.
Taxi
MyTaxi is a really useful app since you can have a taxi where and when you need it, and it will tell you in real time how long you’ll need to wait until it gets to you. We recommend you also Uber and Cabify for private drivers, really useful since you don’t have to have cash neither card with you for paying! You can even pay with Paypal.

With these apps you can share cars in order to get to new cities and meet also new people on the way there. Also you can have handy some other apps like Renfe (to buy train tickets), Avanzabus or Alsa (to buy bus tickets) or even Skyscanner! Now that you’re here, what about travelling through Europe?
