Spain’s free train travel to continue throughout 2023
Spain has just extended its free train travel scheme through to December 2023. Earlier this year, free train tickets were introduced for short and medium-distance journeys. It started on 1 September and was originally meant to end on 31 December.
Now, Spain has pledged €700 million to extend the scheme until the end of next year – and it could be here to stay for the foreseeable future. The environmental and social impacts of these free multi-trip tickets will be reevaluated then to see if it is worth continuing with the scheme. It was reported that free travel had already made it possible for a large number of citizens to abandon their cars and travel by train instead.
