But it was in 1924 when the City Council implemented the traffic code and imposed to taxis things such as the taximeter or the colored stripes<\/strong>. These indicated the different tariffs of each vehicle<\/strong>. The cheapest ones were the white line (40 cents per kilometer), followed by the red line (50 cents), yellow (60 cents) and blue (80 cents). In the 1930s a flat rate was imposed and the yellow strip was chosen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Private location” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n We continue our guide on how to get around Barcelona in a very private way. The rental car<\/strong> is an option in Barcelona as it exists in every city in the world. The best known companies are easily located at the airport and at the train and bus stations. It is important to hire the services of homologated companies to avoid unpleasant surprises<\/strong>. From a utility vehicle to a limousine, any type of car can be rented to fit tastes and pockets.<\/p>\n Bikes are also possible<\/strong> to rent and allow you to move freely and quickly<\/strong>. There are companies that rent scooters for hours or weeks, individually or in groups.

The Barcelona taxis are as emblematic as those of New York<\/strong>, although in my opinion as an author that I express with all my respect and affection, they are more elegant<\/strong> because the bright yellow, which allows them to be seen at a distance, has an elegant black added.
