Spain's €60 National Transport Pass Goes on Sale Ahead of Jan. 19 Launch

Integration with local networks awaits separate agreements.

Overview

  • Sales opened on Jan. 12 with the pass becoming valid on Jan. 19, priced at €60 per month or €30 for under‑26s after prior registration through operator channels such as Renfe and Alsa.
  • Coverage includes Cercanías commuter rail, conventional Media Distancia trains and state‑managed intercity buses, while high‑speed and other commercial long‑distance trains are excluded.
  • Urban metros, municipal buses and trams are not part of the scheme, so many travelers will still need a separate city ticket for first‑ and last‑mile journeys.
  • Regional incorporation is uneven: Galicia says it has not received detailed terms and does not expect decisions before late January, and Catalonia is working toward technical integration into T‑Mobilitat in the second half of 2026.
  • Use is personal with reservation and trip limits, and breaches such as no‑shows can trigger a 60‑day purchasing block; the government also maintains 2026 discounts, funds a 20% cut on other passes, and launches the Pase Vía (Avant) and Cronos (Cercanías) products with progressive card‑payment discounts.
