Transport Minister Raquel Sánchez said the already existing scheme, which makes local and medium-haul trains free for passengers with travel cards, should be extended to intercity bus travel. The aim is to encourage people to leave their cars at home and use public transport, and to help offset the cost of living crisis.

From September 1, routes are already subsidized by 50%, and it is expected that from January 1, 2023, travel will become completely free.

Among the most popular bus routes that will be free in 2023 are Madrid-Segovia, Madrid-Guadalajara, Teruel-Barcelona and Santander-Bilbao-Barcelona. A total of 79 routes will be free.
