Free bus for young people in Alicante: this is how you can get the pass starting today
- Madrid extends the term of the transport pass: this is how the prices remain until the end of the year
- Renfe users will be able to purchase free passes: requirements and how to request them
The Alicante urban bus joins the Alicante Metropolitan Transport (TRAM) and will also be free for those under 31 years of age. Starting this Tuesday, August 1, users will be able to get on the municipal service lines without going through the cash register at least until the end of the year. The municipal government thus implements the measure to which it committed after approving the third modification of credits of the extended budget and providing urban public transport with six million destined to help families to alleviate the effects of inflation and the increase in prices.
To benefit from free transport, those interested must have the free Temporary Youth Monthly Ticket for the TRAM tram. On the other hand, the City Council also extends the 50% bonus for the rest of the travelers, which came into force at the beginning of this 2023, financed 30% by the Ministry of Transport and 20% by the Consistory.

Previously, between July 2022 and February 2023, a 30% bonus was applied with the contribution of the Ministry of Mobility to respond to the economic and social consequences of the war in Ukraine to deal with situations of social and economic vulnerability.. In February 2023, the bonus was extended to 50%.
Price of transport passes
In the event of not having the aforementioned subscription, those interested may process it at the TRAM offices by requesting a prior appointment on the official website. With the 50% bonus, the titles have the following prices:
- 30-day pass for urban buses: 20 euros (previously 40 euros)
- Multi-trip Móbilis Pass for the public: it can be recharged with 10 journeys for 4.35 euros (previously 8.70 euros)
- Youth Route 4/30 Pass: 7.50 euros (before 15 euros)
- Móbilis Jove Voucher for young people between 16 and 30 years old: it can be charged with 30 trips for 10.60 euros (previously 21.20 euros)
The free subscription is loaded onto an anonymous cardboard card, but it is personal and non-transferable since it must be associated with an identity document, DNI, NIE or passport. It is free, both the subscription and the cardboard support. A person other than the applicant can pick it up as long as they bring the original document and the receipt of the appointment.
