Until December 31, 2024, youngsters under 30 years of age will travel free on public transport in the Valencian Region. The measure, announced in September 2022 by the Generalitat Valenciana and extended through June 2024 will benefit more than 1.5 million people in the Valencian territory.
The free transport pass will be extended to metro, bus, metrobus and streetcar in the metropolitan area of Valencia, as well as to the Tram in Alicante and Castellón.
The next step that all young people who want to benefit from this plan will have to take is to get a temporary transport pass, which is already available.
This measure was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024, but the the Valencian government has announced its extension for 6 more months. Young people under 31 years of age will continue to enjoy the free travel until December 31, 2024 and the discounts will be extended until January 31, 2025.
