INDIRECT COMPETITORS

Our indirect competition is based on public transport, either taxi, bus or subway.

Many car users, use public transport to go to their jobs, home or interesting places. One reason of this use is because users don't want to be wasting time and money finding parking place where they go anywhere.  

Every day more than 650.000 people use public bus services and over 1.2 million use underground train.

Of these users, mostly use it because they think is faster englobing the transit problems and the time needed to find parking in a busy city as barcelona.
