Since 2010, Mr Xavier Trias, Mayor of Barcelona, and other local politicians have obstructed the widely agreed project to join our two separate tram networks: Trambaix and Trambesòs. This project would improve public transport in Diagonal Avenue, one of the city’s main axes, now served by packed buses running at only 10 km/h in peak hours (on bus lane). While this nonsense persists in Barcelona, up to 59 tramway networks have been created or enlarged across Europe (EU28+CH+NW).

Trade unions, associations representing pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and neighbours and road safety organisations have come together in “Diagonal for All”. Our shared goal is to achieve a safer and more sustainable Diagonal Av. linking our tram networks, as well as featuring wider sidewalks and a segregated bike lane.
