These will be the only beneficiaries who will have discounts in 2025

At the moment, Public transport is reduced by a series of discounts and bonuses that reach 60% of the total price or free in the case of Renfe passes: these discounts have affected the transportation of Surroundings and Medium Distance to transport such as the Madrid Metro and on Alsa or Samar buses. However, the end of these sales is approaching: December 31, 2024 will be the last day in which these discounts can be available.

The extension of these discounts and freebies seems unlikely, although The Minister of Transportation, Óscar Puente, stated in Congress that free will continue for the most vulnerable population and that there will continue to be discounts for young people and frequent users.

Young people, frequent users and vulnerable groups will have new discounts

In the absence of the measures that the Government will take before the end of the validity of these discounts, Price reduction measures are planned for young people and frequent usersas well as free provision for vulnerable groups, such as families with fewer resources. To know the requirements we will have to wait for the new measures to be finalized..

Furthermore, the Spanish Committee of People with Disabilities (CERMI) has asked Transport to people with disabilities are included officially recognized among the population groups beneficiaries of reduced transport fares that can be implemented as of January 1, 2025.
