Picosecond lifetimes in {sup 129,130}Ba were determined using the recoil distance technique with a plunger device coupled to an array of EUROBALL-cluster-detectors for the first time. The differential decay curve method in coincidence mode was employed to derive lifetimes for six states in {sup 129}Ba and twelve states in {sup 130}Ba. The resulting B(E2) values are compared with triaxial rotor plus particle calculations for {sup 129}Ba and, in {sup 130}Ba, to the predictions of the general collective model, the interacting boson model, as well as to the symmetric and asymmetric rotor models. In {sup 130}Ba, the transitional quadrupole moment in the ground state band is remarkably constant before and after the backbend. With this data the two-quasiparticle negative parity band in {sup 130}Ba was confirmed to be based on a {pi}(h{sub 11/2}(multiply-in-circle sign)d{sub 5/2}/g{sub 7/2}) configuration.
