Coach to Barcelona SantsorReus Transport bus, line 50?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Coach to Barcelona Sants reaches Barcelona Sants; the Reus Transport bus, line 50 does not. This goes into Reus, the town the airport is named after and about 10 km away — not to Barcelona. It is useful chiefly because it stops at the Renfe station and the bus station on the way, which is where the onward options are.

The Reus Transport bus, line 50 is quicker: 20 min against 2 h. The Coach to Barcelona Sants varies between 100 and 140 minutes.

Coach to Barcelona Sants: 07:10–17:10. Reus Transport bus, line 50: 08:05–21:05.

You cannot buy this online. The operator greys out the button and marks every departure as sold on board only — pay the driver.

There are twelve a week. Check your specific day before you plan around it; on most days there are two, and on weekends there is one.

It takes up to 2 hours 20 depending on the run, and stops at Valls and other towns on the way.

If you miss it, the practical alternative is the hourly coach to Tarragona and a train from there — but no through fare for that is published anywhere.

It costs EUR 4.00 where the same operator charges EUR 1.50 for an ordinary ride. The airport fare is separate and printed as such.

Ask about the T10 if there are several of you. It is explicitly a shareable card at EUR 4.20 for ten rides, but nothing published says whether it covers the airport journey — the driver will know.

It runs 08:05 to 21:05 only, a shorter day than the coach to Tarragona.

Going to Barcelona, this bus plus a train from Reus station is a real option, but no source publishes a through fare for it.
