Transport in Montcada i Reixac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public transport in Montcada i Reixac (Catalonia, Spain) is a part of the transportation network in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. The town is located in a geographically strategic position, immediately to the north of Barcelona's Nou Barris district and surrounded by the hills of Collserola and the adjacent towns of Vallès, and contains a few train stations which articulate the rail transport in the urban region.
Barcelona Metro line L11 links Montcada i Reixac with Nou Barris. In the future it will be extended further into Montcada Centre and other towns in the area.

Future tram developments
A tram spanning the Vallès area, linking it to northern Barcelona and the so-called Metro del Vallès, has been proposed under the name Tramvallès, following the convention initiated with Trambaix (for Baix Llobregat), and Trambesòs (after the Besòs river). As of 2010 it remains under consideration by the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità.[1]
