Bargain buses

THE discount on the Elche City bus travel pass will be extended until December 31 with the 50 per cent reduction on the current price being maintained.

This extension comes after the government’s approval in the Council of Ministers of the extension of the Royal Decree ­ Law on measures to deal with inflation and the consequences of the war in Ukraine.

Therefore, the discounts on urban and interurban transport in Spanish communities and municipalities that were to end on June 30 have been extended and will now be in force until December 31.

The mayor of Elche, Pablo Ruz, described the extension as “positive and necessary” and confirmed that until September, the circular bus service to Arenales del Sol will start “an urban centre route that is already welcoming many people from all over Spain.” will have a charger with the capacity to recharge two vehicles at the same time.

The charging point will be semi ­ fast with Mennekes connections (power equal to or greater than 15 kW and less than 40 kW).

It will have an estimated recharge time of 100 kilometres of autonomy of 40 minutes.

The type of payment and management system is through the Web SmartMobility / Payment Gateway App Recarga Publica Iberdrola.
