In five weeks, free Renfe tickets will end. The discounts established to mitigate the effects of inflation three years ago are waning, and starting in July, people will have to pay again. Last February, the Secretary of Mobility of the Generalitat, Manel Nadal, explained in Parliament that starting in the summer, free travel would give way to a 20 euro flat rate for traveling with Cercanías. But with only a few days left until the new fare system is implemented, some users already believe it will generate a "comparative grievance" between municipalities. The reason? Well, those towns not served by the Cercanías (local rail) service—even if it's just for a few kilometers—will have to pay four or five times more for traveling just a little longer, one or two more stops.
