Barcelona and its metropolitan area are an easy area in terms of connectivitylargely thanks to public transport which are essential to guarantee connections between the entire territory. This does not mean that users often regret that network improvements do not arrive and that, at the same time, administrations try to implement extensions, which is difficult especially for budgetary reasons.
Either way, the citizens are lucky because Barcelona Metropolitan Transport (TMB) has just launched a new express bus line that will connect El Prat de Llobregat and Barcelona in a more direct and faster way. It is estimated that it will save around five minutes compared to the buses that existed until now.
In fact, this connection was once made with a conventional bus line165, which operated Monday to Friday. In addition, line 65 will now also modify part of its stops to adapt and better adapt to the new line, called X2-Pratexpress.

The new proposal will have fewer stops and will shorten travel time, which in total will be around 25 minutesand has already been considered by the public transport company as one of the fastest that currently exists.

So, they have reformulated the judgments on Remolar and Virgen de Montserrat avenues, so that they are better suited to the interchange areas with the metro and the Cèntric and Les Moreres stations of line 9 in El Prat. In addition, the bus will no longer pass through the streets of Lleida, Coronel St. Feliu, Gaiter del Llobregat and Carretera de la Marina. Line 65 will now begin to circulate on these same streets.
