For anyone who regularly uses public transport, the last few hours have been marked by uncertainty after the repeal of the “omnibus decree”, which included subsidies for public transport until June 30, 2025. There have been many travelers who went to sleep last night without knowing how much they would have to pay from Thursday, but in the case of Renfe has already made a statement on the new prices of Cercanías.
As the company has informed in a press release, all free passes for frequent travelers that have been issued or renewed before January 23rd, both for Cercanías and Media Distancia, will remain valid. They can be used for travel until April 30, which is the date on which their validity expires.
In the case of Avant travel cards that have already been issued, they can also continue to be used for travel until the end of their validity period. However, as of today, it is no longer possible to purchase any more passes or subsidized tickets as a result of the rejection of the Royal Decree in which these passes were included “the extension of the free travel and discounts for public rail transport expires”.
