Ouigo launches new promotion

With this promotion called ‘Viejóven’, the company aims to facilitate summer travel by high­speed train for people over 30 years of age. Its objective is to promote a more sustainable means of transport and reduce travel by other more polluting means, such as aeroplanes and cars.

Ouigo intends to show its commitment to young people, a profile that can be affected by rising prices, while also gaining other travellers who want to make summer getaways. These discounts also contribute to the modal shift towards more sustainable options in Spain.

These latest offers add to Ouigo’s long history of launch­ ing promotions during periods of high demand, such as Fallas and Christmas.

Recently, Ouigo requested a capacity study from Adif with the aim of starting operations in 2024 on the lines that connect Valladolid, Segovia, Madrid, Albacete, Alicante, Madrid, Elche, and Murcia.

THE government announced on Tuesday June 27 the extension of anti­eviction measures while discontinuing the extra extension of rents. These measures were initially implemented during the Covid ­ 19 pandemic and have now been prolonged through a royal decree law.

The government aims to address housing, transportation, tax, and energy price concerns arising from both the pandemic and the inflationary crisis linked to the war in Ukraine. This lastminute extension will also incorporate additional measures, including tax rebates for electric vehicle purchases.
