Correos (Barcelona Metro)
Correos (Spanish) or Correus (Catalan) was a former Barcelona metro station. The station site is located on what is now line L4 between the existing stations of Jaume I and Barceloneta, and under the street of Via Laietana. The station opened in 1934 as a terminus of a branch of the Gran Metro de Barcelona, Barcelona's first metro line. The Gran Metro de Barcelona came to be known as line L3 but Correos remained the terminus of a branch. The station was dismantled in 1972 to permit the extension of the line into La Barceloneta, as part of the integration of the branch into line L4. Along with Banco, it is one of the two metro stations on Via Laietana that have disappeared.

Rapid Transit
Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas. A rapid transit system that primarily or traditionally runs below the surface may be called a subway, tube, or underground. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit systems are railways (usually electric railway, electric) that operate on an exclusive right-of-way (transportation), right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles, and which is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between rapid transit station, stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks, although some systems use guided rubber tires, magnetic levitation (''maglev''), or monorail. The stations typically have high platforms, without steps inside the trains, requiring custom-made trains in order to minimize gaps between train a ...
