Spain Confirms Nationwide €60 Transport Pass Launching in Late January 2026

Officials frame the pass as a cost‑saving shift toward public transport, with AVE services excluded.

Overview

  • The government set monthly pricing at €60 for general users and €30 for young people, confirming availability from the second half of January 2026.
  • The pass covers cercanías and medium‑distance trains plus state‑run buses across Spain, but it does not apply to high‑speed AVE routes.
  • Existing public‑transport discounts will remain in place throughout 2026 alongside the new nationwide pass.
  • Sales are slated to begin on January 1 so users can start traveling with the pass in the latter half of the month.
  • Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez presented the measure as easing household transport costs and encouraging a shift from private cars, with regions invited to integrate their networks.
