Free Public Transport and Huge Discounts Coming to Spain

Spain Announces Major Public Transportation Discounts and Free Rides Starting July 1st, 2025 Spain is set to implement significant changes to its public transportation system, offering free and discounted fares for various age groups beginning July 1st, 2025. The initiative, announced in a recent social media video by influencer Raúl - Becas y Ayudas, covers a range of services including city buses, metro systems, and Renfe trains. For city buses and metro, children under 15 will ride free. Young adults between 15 and 25 will receive a 50% discount, while all other passengers will enjoy a 40% reduction. Renfe's medium-distance services will also offer discounts. Children will travel free, young people will receive a 70% discount, and the general public will get a 40% reduction. Similar discounts apply to Avant and Cercanías services. "Os vais a tener que sacar un código," the presenter explains, emphasizing that a code will be required to access certain discounts. This code can be obtained through the Ministry of Transport's website. The initiative aims to make public transport more accessible and affordable, potentially encouraging greater use and reducing reliance on private vehicles. The video concludes with a mention of the upcoming "Verano Joven" program, promising further discounts for young people.
