Barcelona metro T-Casual pass prices and information
The T-Casual, the card that allows 10 journeys on the Barcelona metro and other integrated operators such as the tram or bus, is a non-shareable ticket.
Its cost of €11.35 reduces the price of a single journey to €1.13, and unlike the T-senzill (single journey card) which costs €2.40, with one pass of the card you can switch from one of Barcelona's public transport systems to another for 75 minutes between the first and last validation. The T-Casual ticket is not part of the tickets that allow access to the T1 and T2 terminals of line 9 of the Barcelona metro. The T-Casual metro card cannot be shared at the same time. If two people are travelling the same route, each of them must be in possession of their card. If one person uses the card in the morning, for example, another may use the same card in the afternoon.
If you plan to make more than 2 return trips you will have to buy a second card as you will only have 2 trips left; therefore, instead of spending 22.70 € for 20 trips with the Barcelona metro (or tram, bus and funicular), start with the T-Familiar which offers 8 trips for 0.80 € per journey, and get an extra card if necessary.
If the length of your stay in Barcelona requires you to take public transport many times, and you have no idea how much time you will spend on the metro, you can get a T-Grup card which offers 70 journeys that can be shared by several people for the price of 79.45 € or 1.13 € per journey.
