The Biscay Transport Consortium ( CTB), created in 1975 to build the underground, was the public company that would lead the efforts to overcome the situation.
After some efforts to adapt the machines and information systems, the bus and underground were integrated, the Euskotren Trena soon followed and finally FEVE entered the system in 2006.
The last remaining company to join the system was RENFE, which operates three rail lines in the area, the company was incorporated to the Creditrans system during 2009.
In 2012 the Creditrans tickets were replaced by plastic Barik card which work on the same principle except you can add credit to them through the regular ticket machines instead of buying a new card each time.
When a Creditrans is validated, the amount subtracted from its denomination is variable depending on the transport used. Also, when using two transports in a row (for instance Underground and bus) a 20% discount is applied on the second trip.
