Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), shortened as ATM, is the organization in charge of the coordination of several public transportation systems in the city of Barcelona, its metropolitan area and other regions under its influence, including the setting of a shared fare, as well as the management, planning and/or construction of infrastructure for the global network.

The metropolitan area is made up of 6 concentric areas, defined by the Entitat del Transport for each of which different fares apply. [1]
