The ban on electric scooters on public transport came into force in Barcelona. With fines of €200 for infringement. The ban is being introduced after an e-scooter exploded and caught fire on board a train in Barcelona in November 2022. Similar bans on public transport have also been adopted by authorities in Girona, Tarragona, Lleida and Sitges. Parking spaces at railway stations and bus interchanges are being promoted.
