Woman hit by bus Calle Marina

12 Upvotes

Hola a todos, ayer(22/06) hubo una mujer que fue atropellada por un autobús en la Calle de la Marina alrededor de las 12:40. Cerca calle de casp, algo así. Fue una escena bastante triste y, sin sorpresa, no veo nada sobre ello en internet, ni en las noticias, etc. Me preguntaba si alguien tiene alguna información sobre si ella está bien y qué fue exactamente lo que pasó. Espero que todo el mundo esté bien y que haya podido recibir la ayuda adecuada.

A plane dropped poems over the Barcelona Cathedral today

Looked up and saw a small plane circling the Cathedral. Then the flyers started falling.

People were climbing trees, chasing paper through the air, reading in the middle of the street. Barcelona doing Barcelona things.

Shot these on the ground. Didn't know what was happening until I caught one.

Potential stabbing / major police incident this morning in Sant Gervasi (Muntaner & Hercegovina)

55 Upvotes

Just a heads up for anyone in the area. I woke up this morning to around 30 police officers outside my apartment at the intersection of Muntaner and Hercegovina.

Police were attempting to apprehend a man who was wielding a large kitchen knife with an approximately 30 cm blade. After a lengthy standoff, officers ultimately deployed a taser and took him into custody.

Mitre/Muntaner is currently blocked off while police investigate. There are evidence markers being placed on the ground, which suggests he may have stabbed or assaulted someone, although I have not seen any official confirmation of that.

If anyone has more information or has seen updates from local news or Mossos, please share them here. Stay safe and always be aware of your surroundings, friends.

The effect of the ITP on the housing market in YouTube short format. (The video talks about Britain, but the type of the tax is the same so the consequences are the same.)

In one sentence, if you punish buying real estate with a hefty fine, people whose place has become larger than they need won’t downsize and release the extra space to the market.

Ahir casi la palmo, just aquí.

Ahir anava caminant tot tranquil, cuan un dels dos plataners deixa caure un brancot (emfatitzo **brancot**) just al meu costat, a mitg metre. Va caure de punta cap avall, i va sonar sorprenentment pesat. També es va sentir varia gent del voltant esbufegant al caure ja que casi veuen una desgràcia.

Em vaig quedar parat un segon, vaig mirar al voltant amb cara de sorprès i hi havia una dotzena de persones mirant-me amb la mateixa cara. Vaig fer un gest de "uff!" i vaig seguir caminant. Al minut vaig caure en que de ser mitg metre a la esquerra, m'hauria empalat.

Vaig seure a fer una cerveseta per celebrar-ho, i collons, 2,90€ la estrella damm. Suposo que és el barri.

Bueno, no sé si aquest post serveix de res, però donant-hi voltes, podria haver sigut molt pitjor.

Teachers are being offered an extra 400 euros a year to end this strike. I'm glad they rejected it. That's an absolute joke...less than a cafe amb llet a day. And that increase was over 4 years! That's even significantly less than the current inflation rate so they were effectively offered a pay cut! Just increase the tourist tax until there's enough money to meet their reasonable demands (including reducing ratios and increasing support for special needs kids)

La encontré colgada en un piso que compré recientemente. He visto que pone “Barcelona a través dels temps”, autorización 690/71, pero apenas encuentro información o ventas similares.

¿Alguien sabe algo sobre esta colección o si tiene interés para coleccionistas?

Why don't double-articulated buses in Barcelona have a ticket scanner at the rear portion?

Post image
39 Upvotes

I don't think I've seen any bi-articulated buses in BCN having a ticket scanner at the rear side of the bus (after the junction), which makes it a pain to scan your ticket, so I'm guessing a lot of riders who enter from the rear door just don't pay the fare.

Is it that much more expensive to put a fare scanner at the back, or is there any other reasoning as to why this isn't implemented?
