Spain announces free train travel to deal with cost-of-living crisis

Spain has announced it will make some short- and middle-distance train journeys completely free as the government seeks to combat the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.

Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez said on Tuesday that all Cercanías (commuter trains), Rodalies (commuter routes in Catalonia) and Media Distancia routes (mid-distance regional lines which cover distances less than 300km) run by the national rail system will be free from 1 September 1 to 31 December this year.

The 100% discount will only apply to multi-trip tickets, not single fares.

The new scheme comes in addition to the government funding a discount of between 30-50% on all public transport - including metros, buses and trams.
