EMPRESA CASAS SA

What EMPRESA CASAS SA does

Empresa Casas SA is a regulated interurban bus operator headquartered in Mataró (Barcelona), serving as the Maresme-region brand within the Moventis group (itself a subsidiary of Transgrup XXI, S.L.). Founded in 1938 and integrated into Moventis since 1996, the company runs scheduled coach lines connecting 15 municipalities in the Maresme comarca — including Mataró, Montgat, Vilassar de Mar, El Masnou, Premià de Mar, Cabrera de Mar, and others — with Barcelona's Plaza Cataluña. The route network is operated under authorization from the Generalitat de Catalunya and integrated into the ATM (Autoritat del Transport Metropolità) tariff and ticketing system.

The company's core product is the scheduled interurban bus network, supplemented by a digital layer consisting of a "Tiempo Real" GPS-based bus tracking system, a mobile application providing schedules, routes, and ticketing access, and an online purchasing platform at compras.moventis.es for express lines. A secondary line of business is discretionary coach rental (alquiler de autocares) for events, excursions, school transport, tourist transport, and weddings, offered across Catalonia, Andorra, and the Balearic Islands via the Moventis platform. The company also provides an adapted transport service for persons with reduced mobility in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: regulated public-transport fares collected per ride (priced under the ATM Barcelona tariff schedule, with comparable tariff zones in Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona) and quote-based coach rental fees. The customer base is overwhelmingly composed of individual daily commuters and leisure travelers rather than enterprise accounts; marketing and customer service operate through the corporate website, a Twitter account (@MoventisInfo), Instagram (@moventisbus), the Moventis mobile app, and physical ticket counters. The firm itself shows a 5-employee administrative footprint, with operational staff and fleet assets managed at the Moventis group level.
