All the free long-distance bus routes in Spain 2023: these are the coach journeys you can get for free
As of 2023, you can travel between most cities in Spain for nothing with a regular commuter season ticket
The Spanish government has announced that they will make 42 long-distance bus routes free in 2023, including routes from Madrid, Barcelona, Murcia, Seville, Alicante, Salamanca and more.
Throughout 2022, several coach routes were available to travel for half-price, but from 2023 onwards it will be possible to travel free of charge on certain intercity buses in Spain.
The free bus travel initiative was launched last September, although half of the fare still had to be paid. Since September 1, 2022 season tickets and travel cards have been available to purchase at half price, a measure which will be maintained until the end of the year.
Now, in 2023, this deal is to be extended and 42 bus journeys from state-owned coach companies will be absolutely free of charge, as long as bus passengers get a travel pass for 10, 20 or 30 journeys.
In addition to buses, Spain’s free rail travel scheme is also being extended into 2023, which allows regular train passengers to travel for free on Spanish Renfe medium-distance and Cercanías trains provided they make a certain minimum number of journeys.
