The ordinary TMB single, EUR 2.90, works on this bus with no airport supplement; every integrated ticket works too, and a shareable T-familiar (EUR 11.50) is cheaper than four singles. On a single, continuing by metro from Plaça Espanya costs another EUR 2.90; on a T-casual or T-familiar the change is free.

Worth knowing
TMB's scheduled times at the Aeroport T1 stop, read for a weekday, a Saturday and a Sunday: first 05:30 and last 23:50 on all three, every 13 to 17 minutes by day and every 20 after 22:00. TMB adds that timetables may vary with disruptions on public roads.
Accepts every ticket the airport metro refuses, including a shared T-familiar; the TMB single works here and not on the L9 Sud from the airport.
It serves both terminals directly and does not need the shuttle.
TMB does not publish a journey time for it; the range here is its scheduled departure at Aeroport T1 against its scheduled passing time at Paral·lel – Plaça Espanya on the same day.
After 23:50 there is no bus 46 until 05:30. The night buses N17 and N18 take over from T1, but AMB does not publish their fare.
