These data provide a powerful tool to improve the quality of transport services and plan ahead. This paper aims at studying, from a mathematical and statistical point of view, the Barcelona metro network; specifically: (1) the structural and robustness characteristics of the transportation network are computed and analyzed considering the complex network analysis; and (2) the common characteristics of the different subway stations of Barcelona, based on the passenger hourly entries, are identified through hierarchical clustering analysis. These results will be of great help in planning and restructuring transport to cope with the new social conditions, after the pandemic. eng MDPI Complex network analysis Centrality measures Network robustness Ridership patterns Clustering analysis Passenger flow Barcelona underground A Mathematical Study of Barcelona Metro Network info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics10050557 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Electronics 10 5 557
