Sustainable Mobility
The Tibidabo Amusement Park is located at the top of Tibidabo Mountain and is the highest point (516.2 m above sea level) of the Serra de Collserola and the city of Barcelona. This fact determines one of the most significant impacts associated with our activity: the atmospheric emissions generated by mobility to the Summit.
How do we manage to reduce these emissions? By implementing actions focused on the following objectives:
- Promoting Public Transport
- Expanding the availability of the Cuca de Llum
- Implementing actions of the Business Travel Plan (PDE)
The fact that the Tibidabo Amusement Park is located at the highest point of the Serra de Collserola makes it difficult to access on foot or by bicycle, as we are in wild, rugged terrain with steep slopes. That is why we are betting on public transport.
Currently, the best current public transport combination is as follows:
Cuca de Llum
Cuca de Llum (lower station located in Plaça Doctor Andreu): with a journey time of 4 minutes, it is a free service with the entrance to the Amusement Park or Panoramic Area.
TibiBus
Bus lines to Cuca de Llum: only on days when the Amusement Park is open and free with admission. There are 2 routes with a common destination to Cuca de Llum:
- T2B: Starting in front of the BSM Sant Genís car park (combination with L3 and L5 of the Barcelona Metro), this service is available from 10:15 to the closing of the Park.
- T2C: With the route starting at Plaça Kennedy (combination with L7 of Ferrocarrils de Catalunya), it is a service available with a frequency of 10 minutes.
Public transport offers a series of important benefits both individually and collectively.
Environmental benefits
- Reduction of air pollution: Fewer private vehicles means fewer emissions of CO₂ and other polluting gases. We have reduced TnCO2 by 13.7% between 2019 and 2023.
- Less noise pollution: Buses and trains generate less noise per person transported than cars.
- Energy savings: Public transport is more energy efficient.
Social benefits
- Accessibility for everyone: Facilitates the mobility of people without their own vehicle. Such as young people, the elderly or people with functional diversity (the two bus lines to Cuca de Llum are accessible).
- Health benefits: Improves health by reducing harmful emissions.
- Improvement of social cohesion: Promotes interaction between people of different origins and conditions.

PDEs (Company Travel Plans) are one of the main instruments for improving mobility in the area of work or study centers, based on a set of actions that aim to optimize the mobility of workers, favoring the use of alternative modes of transport to private vehicles and rationalizing the use of cars.
The PDEs align with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, especially:
- SDG 3 – Health and Well-being: Promote healthy habits such as walking and cycling.
- SDG 7 – Clean and affordable energy: Reduce fossil fuel consumption.
- SDG 11 – Sustainable cities and communities: Improve air quality and reduce urban congestion.
- SDG 13 – Climate action: Contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Currently, we have a PDE implemented at BSM, certified by the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM), which recognizes those institutions that work to promote sustainable mobility in their workplaces. The seal is valid for three years. You can consult it here.
This PDE includes actions that will facilitate the routine of working personnel and are divided into:
- Organizational
- Campaigns and dissemination
- Related to pedestrians
- Related to bicycles and personal mobility vehicles
- Public transport
- Private vehicle and parking
