Spain Launches €60 National Monthly Public Transport Pass

The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has announced that the government will launch a €60 monthly public transport ticket covering Rodalies commuter trains, medium-distance trains, and the bus network from 2026.

The ticket will be valid nationwide and will come into effect from 19th January.

The government announced that the fees will be €60 per person, with those under 26 years, paying €30.

“The way we understand and use public transport will change forever,” Sánchez said on Monday during his year-end press conference at Moncloa, the government’s headquarters.

The measure will be approved during the last cabinet meeting of the year. Authorities will keep the current financial aid for transport passes.

“The ticket pass will be ready from mid-January for all public transport networks mentioned, but we hope that, slowly, we can include more regional and local networks,” Sánchez said during the speech.

Those interested will have to acquire the ticket through the normal systems in place to obtain the regular passes, such as online or in-person at transport stations.

Youngsters will need to register online at the Spanish Transports Ministry website to receive a code to get a 50% discount.

The new pass will not allow travel on Renfe’s medium-distance trains or AVE high-speed trains.
