New X3 XPRESBus bus line
Change in bus lines
From 26 May, TMB's new X3 XPRESBus bus line will connect Avinguda del Paral·lel, Plaça d'Espanya, the Marina district of Prat Vermell and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Avinguda Carrilet), with a more direct route, fewer stops and extending the end of the line to Avinguda del Paral·lel. With these conditions, the new line X3 will achieve higher commercial speeds.
1. Route and stops
The line starts at Avinguda Carrilet and runs along Rambla de la Marina, Avinguda d'Amèrica, Carrer de Motors, Carrer de la Botànica, Carrer de Salvador Espriu, Carrer de Pablo Iglesias, Avinguda de Joan Carles I, Carrer Foc and continues along Avinguda dels Jocs del 92, Avinguda del Estadi, Avinguda de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, Plaça d'Espanya and Avinguda del Paral-lel.
Due to the long-term extension work being carried out on FGC line L8 at Plaça d'Espanya, the new bus line X3, in the direction of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, will change its route for approximately 16 months along Carrer Lleida and Av. Rius i Taulet, to resume its usual route along Avinguda de Francesc Ferrer i Guardia.
