How we do it
To manage the passenger transport service, FGC is organized into different management areas to ensure the various functions linked to service provision:
- Infrastructure Maintenance
- Rolling Stock Maintenance
- Journey Regulation
- Train Operations
- Customer Service at Stations
- Service Information
FGC provides its services using its own resources derived from the services offered and public funding from the Programme Contract signed with the Government of Catalonia, which guarantees investments, maintenance of infrastructure, and the different services provided.
In addition to the Programme Contract, the needs of the Metropolitan Lines are financed through a Programme Contract between the ATM and FGC. These needs are essentially funded by the ATM and, complementarily, by the Government of Catalonia as FGC’s tutelary administration.
