The elimination of public transport bonuses by the Government of Spain after the omnibus decree did not go ahead will not affect Tussam prices, which will maintain the 50% discount. In this way, urban buses and trams will continue to have the same ratessince the Seville City Council will maintain the 20% that it had initially committed until June and will also assume 30% of the discounts that the State has been applying until now.
This was announced this Thursday by the Seville City Council, clarifying that “the measure will be applied temporarily, waiting for the Government to make a decision on the processing of a new decree that allows the bonus to be maintained”. Until then, the price for users of the urban transport network of Seville “will not be affected”, with a 50% bonus on all lines except the Special Airport, municipal sources have explained.
Therefore, the rates in force since January 1, 2025 will continue to apply. Thus, The price per trip of the multi-trip card without transfers will continue to be 0.35% and with transshipment, 0.38%. The monthly passes will continue to be valid, the 30-day pass, 17.70 euros and the large family pass, 14.10 euros, for the general and 8.80 euros, for the special one. Likewise, the student card continues to cost 9.50 euros; and the young and the social, 8.80 euros. Likewise, the monthly airport fee remains at 20.50 euros.
In this regard, the mayor, José Luis Sanz, has indicated that this Municipal Government is “committed to the quality and availability” of the Tussam service, thus seeking to promote the use of public transport in Seville.
It is worth remembering that, according to the City Council, these discounts, which had been applied to the rates and which They were going to be maintained until June 30will benefit more than 90% of Tussam users in the first half of this year, representing 41 million travelers who, together, will have savings of more than 10 million euros.
For its part, the Andalusian Executive of Juanma Moreno will maintain the 20% discount additional to what had been promisedand to which until this Wednesday, another 30% of the State was added, which will decline as the central Government has not been able to carry out its omnibus decree in the Congress of Deputies. These aids had been applied to consortium cards, the three Andalusian metro vouchers and intercity multi-trip vouchers, titles that already applied their permanent bonuses.
The Minister of Development, Territorial Articulation and Housing, Rocío Díaz, has declared that the Government has tried to “impose a decree” that “is certainly not a candy for Andalusia“but a “poisoned apple for the interests of all Andalusians.”
“Our Government provides the tranquility and certainty that Pedro Sánchez and María Jesús Montero do not provide,” said the counselor, who has criticized the “improvisation” of the central Executive in matters such as transportation, housing and pensions, which ” It can’t happen.” In this regard, the Ministry has stressed that users “deserve messages of tranquility and certainty“.
