Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would create discounts on passes and multi-trip tickets on state-run road transport services during 2026: a free pass for children, a 40% discount on a 10-trip pass, a 50% discount on a monthly pass and a 70% discount for young people. It also plans a single-fare pass valid for all origin-destination pairs of these concessions.
  2. For trains, Renfe Viajeros would create in 2026 a 20-euro monthly pass for all Cercanías and Rodalies networks, a 10-euro one for young people and a free pass for children, plus 40% and 50% discounts on Media Distancia (medium distance) services. A single-fare pass covering all these services is also planned.
  3. The bill would give direct aid to regional and local governments so they cut their pass and multi-trip ticket prices in 2026: free child tickets, a 50% discount on youth tickets and a 20% discount on the rest, excluding round-trip tickets and tourist tickets.
  4. The Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands would receive aid to apply a 100% discount on passes for their collective land public transport: 120 million euros for the Canary Islands and 63 million for the Balearic Islands, spread over 2026 and 2027.
  5. A free multi-trip ticket would be created for frequent users of the Cercanías commuter rail networks in Asturias and Cantabria during each four-month period of 2026.
  6. The aid would not be governed by the General Subsidies Law, although it would respect its principles of publicity, transparency and equality. The rule would enter into force the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette.

Who it affects

  • Frequent users of state-run road transport, including children and young people with larger discounts.: They would pay less for their passes and multi-trip tickets in 2026.
  • Users of Renfe's Cercanías, Rodalies and Media Distancia services.: They would have cheap or free monthly passes and discounts in 2026.
  • Regional and local governments with urban or interurban transport.: They could apply for state aid to offset the discounts they apply.
  • The Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.: They would receive aid to make their land public transport passes free.
  • Road transport concessionaires and Renfe Viajeros.: They would have to create the discounted tickets and would receive payments and settlements from the State.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We never say “passed” because of a vote: the files do not say which majority was needed.
