The rail journey has turned into a daily struggle where the Renfebus, the alternative road service, has become a poorly defined norm. At Manresa and Terrassa stations, commuters gather without clear schedules, waiting for buses to depart.

This situation has forced a unique socialization among strangers. Unlike the spacious trains, the cramped buses compel passengers to share their anxiety about reaching Barcelona on time while navigating the congested C-55 or C-16 highways.
