Free public transport continues in the Valencian Community this 2024
Here we explain how you can benefit from these programs until January 31, 2025.
Both the Valencia City Council and the Generalitat Valenciana continue to support free public transport for young people and sustainable mobility.
How long will free public transport last in the Valencian Community?
One of the most notable announcements is the extension of the free Youth Transportation Pass until January 31, 2025.
This measure will allow young people under 31 years of age to continue traveling for free on different means of transport in the Valencian Community.
How to renew the temporary youth subscription?
Those of you who already have the title must renew it in Valencia and Alicante at the automatic ticket vending machines for Metrovalencia and TRAM d'Alacant titles.
On the other hand, in Castelló de la Plana you must go to the Customer Service office of the Castelló TRAM.
What means of transportation will be free?
Taking into account that this is a measure promoted by the Generalitat Valenciana, free public transport will be:
- Metrovalencia
- EMT Valencia
- Metrobús
- Alicante Tram
- Tram Castellón
To make the most of this measure, we remind you that in Miivo you can consult all the information on public transport in the province of Valencia with a single click.
How do I get the free public transport pass in Valencia if I don't have it yet?
To get a temporary free public transport pass in the Valencian Community, you will have to follow the following steps:
- Valencia and Alicante: To be able to request this new free card in Metrovalencia and TRAM d'Alacant you must make an appointment through the specific websites for each transport.
- Castellón: In the case of TRAM Castelló, you can request it now at Calle Carcagente, 1 in person.
On the other hand, it will be essential to present your DNI to be able to justify being under 30 years old at the time of the application.
Finally, emphasize that this new subscription will involve the creation of a new temporary card and not the use of existing cards such as the SUMA Card.
Price freeze until 2025
To complement these measures, the Generalitat has decided to freeze public transport fares throughout 2024. This means that the current fares of the integrated Metrovalencia, EMT, Metrobús and Renfe Cercanías tickets will remain unchanged, facilitating access to all users.
Impact and Benefits
The implementation of these measures has had a significant impact on the mobility of Valencia. According to Noelia Rojas, vice president of the Consell de la Joventut de València (CJV), the number of users of the public transportation network has increased by 20% in the last year, coinciding with the approval of these programs.
"Young people who do not have a fixed income or who suffer 25% unemployment and low salaries, need an administration that is sensitive to our needs," said Rojas, highlighting the importance of these measures for Valencian youth.
