		Built in 2002 as a complement to the Bilbao metro, it is often described as the most modern public transport system in the world.
		Many Bilbao people initially considered the new system to be a public-image exercise, since it was no cheaper to ride than the metro and is not covered by the pre-paid travelcard scheme for local public transport.
		Bilbao had had trams before â“ horse-drawn from 1876 and electrically powered from 1896 â“ but they had all gone by the end of 1964, gradually replaced from 1940 by a system of trolleybus es, which were themselves to disappear by 1978.

		The curved glassy structures - or "Fosteritos" - that announce the Bilbao Metro network at street level are as unique to Bilbao as the Art Nouveau Metro entrances are to Paris.
		Bilbao has a strong tradition of technology; most of the elements were made locally and Spanish engineers who had pioneered mobile gantries for the aerospace industry exploited this technology to erect the prefabricated concrete panels lining the Metro's tunnels.
		The Bilbao Metro is unusual in that it was conceived as a totality: architectural, engineering and construction skills were integrated within a shared vision.

		Bilbao is in the north of the Pyrenees, and extremely rugged country fronts onto the Atlantic ocean.
		Bilbao sits in the river valley of the Nervion river.
		An interesting consequence of this is that whenever there is a side valley going off the main river valley, the metro line comes out of the side of a hill, goes through an elevated section over the tributary river, and then enters a hill on the other side of the tributary valley.

		In Bilbao, in contrast, the architecture itself is legible.
		The curved glassy structures - or Fosteritos - that announce the inner-city Line 1 stations at street level are as unique to Bilbao as the Art Nouveau Metro entrances are to Paris, their shape evocative of inclined movement and generated by the profile of the tunnels themselves.

		As I said at the beginning, work on the Bilbao Metro continues, because its programme looks to complete the line of communications serving both the city and the most highly populated towns in the surrounding area.

		To those of us using them day after day, the thought of metros bring to mind synonyms of ‘tedious’ and ‘monotonous’, and to most of us the often-annoying announcements like ‘please mind the gap’ and ‘next station is (name)’ and the ding-dongs, and the beep-beep-beeps are stuck to our heads.
		The vaulted stations are similar to the Washington metro station, and the lights at the station turn bright when a train is approaching and fades to the original state when the train leaves the platform.
		One exception is the Bilbao metro stations in Spain, where every station uses the same modern architecture to make navigation easier for the passenger.
