In Navarre, users of urban and interurban public transport will also experience discounts in 2026
Next year, the Foral Government and the Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona will maintain public transport aid from the Spanish Government.
The Department of Territorial Cohesion, through the Directorate-General for Transport and Sustainable Mobility, has decided to supplement the system of aid for urban and interurban public transport with a 20% reduction next year.
With this decision, the Foral Government intends to reduce the price of multi-trip tickets (bonus and coin card) and transport subscriptions in order to encourage the use of sustainable public transport and reduce the cost of daily mobility.
The Director-General of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Berta Miranda, has said that "the Autonomous Communities must work responsibly to ensure sustainable mobility for citizens and to combat climate change, as the Navarre Government has done since the start of this aid line in September 2022."
It also stresses that these policies "make it possible to improve territorial cohesion and facilitate access to other public services such as health services, which make transport to the capital and other municipalities cheaper".
Help line
The measure follows the line of aid approved by Royal Decree-Law 1/2025 of 28 January and maintains the free nature of children aged 0-14, as well as a 50% discount on transport and multi-trip tickets to users aged 15 to 30 and a 20% discount on the rest, except for simple round-trip tickets and tourist tickets.
The Government of Navarre will also support this measure by means of a 20% subsidy for the public transport service in the region of Pamplona, which has been agreed with the Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona.
