If they have a V before the bus line number that means that the Barcelona bus route is Vertical and if the letter is an H that means that it is a Horizontal route. The vertical routes are the ones that move between the coast and the mountains and the horizontal ones move between the two rivers that surround Barcelona: The Llobregat and the Besos.
