The new system will improve the performance, flexibility and efficiency of the existing Bus del Barri service (line 135), which covers the same two neighbourhoods every 45 minutes. The last scheduled day of the regular 135 service is Sunday, 16 January. Requests can be made with a mobile app or a phone call. Also named El meu Bus, the app can be downloaded for free from the virtual Apple and Android stores and enables users to amend a request, cancel it, list favourites, check existing reservations and receive alerts on variations in service. TMB and Barcelona City Council are starting an information campaign today in Montbau and Vall d’Hebron to explain the rollout of the bus-on-demand service. The campaign includes posters and leaflets to be handed out be information staff at local facilities and among users of the 135 bus service. Information systems at bus-stops and on board vehicles will also be used, as well digital channels. Some practical workshops are also being organised for local people on 13 and 14 January, explaining how to use the app and providing guidance for people on registering and making their first bookings.

The aim of the agreement is for participants with memory loss to benefit from the services offered by both organisations, as well as to share leisure and cultural activities. The two organisations have a common goal: working towards improving the psychological and emotional well-being of those who are beginning to suffer from cognitive decline. Both seek to improve people's quality of life and help families. Three shared activities have already been scheduled for the first half of 2020: Show-cooking with REMS participants and AFABBS users (17 March); visit to La Pedrera (17 April) and tour and lunch at Món Sant Benet (17 July). During today's event, held at the social space run by the foundation in Manresa, Marta Torras, head of Social Development at the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation, and Fina Rovira, President of AFABBS, gave speeches. Torras spoke about how important it is for the Foundation to have facilities in place in the region to help people suffering from these diseases, and Rovira added that this agreement would make services more visible. She also emphasised that the partnership included complicity, mutual support and synergies.
