Spain makes railway travel free from September; read to know

The Spanish government has made a huge announcement, making travelling by trains free of cost from September 1, 2022.

Notably, while the public transport prices on stated-owned service have been slashed to half in the inflation-battling European nation, the Pedro Sanchez government has now decided to offer 100 percent discount on train journeys.

Once implemented, passengers will be able to board various trains operated by state-run network Renfe for absolutely nothing.

The new scheme which includes public services ‘Cercanías, Rodalies and Media Distance’ will continue till the end of 2022.

Not only Spain, but there are some other European countries where the administration has been seen offering various measures to curb rising burden of inflation.

For example, Germany has also launched an unlimited monthly public transport initiative which can be used for local and regional transport.
