Why share a ride

Getting to the BEC is easy. Getting home from Barakaldo in the small hours, not so much

On VIB3S you see who else is going to UN1TED from your area, chat with the community and form a group. Then post your trip or join one, split fuel, tolls and parking and agree on the ride home before you walk into the BEC.

On your own

This edition's times haven't been published in any source we could verify: check them on the official ticket sale
The BEC isn't in Bilbao itself but in Barakaldo, and late at night public transport runs a reduced or special timetable
Lots of people come from Santander, Vitoria, Donostia or Burgos: over an hour's drive home after a whole night
If everyone drives their own car, that's more cars in the car park, more fuel and more people driving alone at night
