5 identified for fires Andalucia card discount

NEW fares for the Andalucian consortia network card came into force on Monday, April 10. It was applied after the consortia’s board of directors approved an increase from 50 to 60 per cent in discounts on public transport fares. The network is made up of the metropolitan areas of the eight provincial capitals plus the region of Campo de Gibraltar.

According to a press release, this new discount is carried out with the use of the card on buses, metros and trams in the Bay of Cadiz in compliance with the Social and Economic Pact for the Promotion of Andalucia. It is an agreement signed between the Andalucian Regional Government, the Andalusian Confederation of Employers (CEA), UGT­A, and CCOO­A.

From January 2023, an additional 50 per cent discount was applied to public transport through season tickets and multi­journey cards (Consortium card and Youth Transport Card).

The new fares have already been applied to the three Andalucian metro passes since April 1.
