To reach public transport improvements, strong technical reasons and perseverance is needed. Since 1993 PTP is commited to lots of sustainable mobility projects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][dt_fancy_image image_id=”3767″ width=”600″ height=”325″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”We promote express buses” heading_tag=”h4″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;” main_heading_margin=”margin-top:10px;” margin_design_tab_text=””]
We promete express buses in order to make the public transport more competitive at suburban corridors, with coordination with railways, not to compete with them. We coordinated several public authorities (Mancomunitat de Municipis de la Vall del Tenes, Diputació de Barcelona and Government of Catalonia) to create the first “Bus Exprés” line in Catalonia with traffic light priority, semi-direct stops and park&ride. The current e7 line is a story of success.

We aim to adapt the road network to public transport instead of only thinking in private vehicles. We have pioneered the defence of buses running over high capacity motorways, with dedicated bus lanes or conversion of the current lanes into HOV (high occupation vehicles) only. The upcoming bus lane on the B-23 road is the most illustrative example, as the HOV lane reform in road C-58.

Des de principis de la dècada del 2000 la PTP està denunciant l’abandonament del ferrocarril convencional, fins i tot quan només s’escoltaven peticions per escurçar els terminis de l’AVE Madrid – Barcelona. Amb diverses iniciatives hem intentat canviar una visió del ferrocarril purament infraestructural cap a una visió més orientada al servei de la mobilitat quotidiana, planificant primer els objectius horaris per després adaptar les infraestructures de forma racional i constant. Els projectes més destacats són el pla Tren 2014 i el TicTacTren per a Catalunya i el pla Tren 2020 per a Espanya. La PTP ha estat pionera en la defensa de les Rodalies.

Since 2000 decade, PTP is reporting the progressive abandonment of conventional railways, even when only petitions for inauguration of HSL were the topic. With several initiatives, PTP aims to modify a vision of rail transportation purely orientated to infrastructure towards a vision of service oriented to everday mobility, first planning a timetable objectives and then upgrading the infraestructure rationally and constantly. The most important projects are the “Pla Tren 2014” and “TicTacTren” for Catalonia and “Pla Tren 2020” for Spain. PTP has pioneered the defence of Rodalies, the Catalan suburban and regional train service.

We defend and promote the tramway to face high mobility demands in certain urban areas, having low implementation costs and allowing to regenerate the urban environment to prioritize public transport. One of the priorities of the association is to complete the tramway network approved in 2001 by the competent public authorities (Government of Catalonia and major city councils from the Barcelona area) by finishing the sections of “Diagonal avenue“, in Barcelona and “Laureà Miró Street” in Esplugues and Sant Just. The association has also promoted tramway projects for the areas of Vallès Occidental (TramVallès) and Camp de Tarragona (TramCamp).

PTP advocates for a new financial model for public transport based on a fiscal reform and new financing alternatives that allow increasing both its offer and demand. In 2013, we presented the T-Ambiental travel card, to reduce the grievance that the current system poses into travellers of more than one zone and to support a greater user loyalty.
