Travel by bus with the BARIK, BAT and MUGI cards

General questions

• Do BAT, Barik and Mugi work across the Basque Country?−

  Yes. All three cards work on public transport throughout the Basque Country. You can use the card from your province on the Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa networks, including the tram, Metro Bilbao, Euskotren, Dbus, Tuvisa, Bizkaibus, Lurraldebus and the PESA (Avanza) lines that link the three provinces.
• Do BAT, Barik and Mugi work on PESA / Avanza buses?+

  Yes. All three cards are accepted on PESA (Grupo Avanza) lines connecting Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bilbao, Donostia-San Sebastián and other towns in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, at the fare for that journey.
• Can I pay for several people with one card?+

  Anonymous BAT, Barik and Mugi cards can pay for several people travelling together from the same stop. Personalised cards, with a photo or a named holder, are for one person and cannot be shared.
• How do I top up BAT, Barik and Mugi?+

  BAT is topped up at Kutxabank ATMs, on the tram machines in Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao, at Euskotren stations and at enabled ATMs and information points. The balance can be checked with the BAT NFC app on a compatible Android phone. Barik is topped up with the Barik NFC app on an Android phone with NFC, and at the validators and ticket machines of Metro Bilbao, Renfe, Euskotren and authorised tobacconists. Mugi is topped up on mugi.eus or in the Mugi app; afterwards you must activate the balance at a top-up machine, a confirmation totem, or when you validate on an enabled bus or train.
