the 81 years since its opening, the Barcelona Metro has grown to a
network of six lines, spanning 86 kilometers and serving 123 stations.
Backed by enormous investment and vision on the part of its parent
company, <i>Ferrocarils</i> <i>Metropolitans de Barcelona</i> (FCMB),
the city transit authority (<i>Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona, </i>TMB)
and the Catalan government, the system is poised for impressive growth.
Various extensions and state of the art upgrades will provide Barcelona
residents with one of the most expansive and sophisticated metros in
the world by the end of this decade.<br>
