The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced this Monday that the regional government will reduce the price of monthly transport passes by 50%. The measure will enter into force on September 1 and will be in force until December 31. Its use may not be carried out beyond January 31, 2023.”Water rates in the Community of Madrid, as well as those for transport, have been frozen for a decade and public transport is heavily subsidized, since 70% runs in charge of the regional administration and not of the travelers, but we want to continue delving into these reinforcements”, Ayuso signed in an appearance before the media in the Plaza de la Villa after the delivery of the Bronze Doves. The regional Executive will present the initiative to the Madrid Regional Transport Consortium to approve it this week and thus extend the reduction proposed by the central Executive from 30 to 50%. The subscription includes the possibility of traveling on the Madrid Metro, buses and Cercanías. The president of the Federation of Municipalities of Madrid (FMM), Guillermo Hita, precisely disfigured the Madrid Executive who turned a deaf ear to extending the reduction in public transport subscriptions 30% subsidized by the central government. This has been one of the measures contemplated to deal with the consequences of the war in Ukraine and the increase in fuel prices, which is added, in addition to the free of charge of some Renfe and Cercanías services for the last three months of 2022. According to Hita in an interview with Europa Press, the FMM was summoned to the Price Commission of the Consumer Council of the Community of Madrid in which this reduction was discussed. There they carried, at the request of the PSOE, that these transport passes be discounted at 100% until the end of the year or, at least, that it be raised to 50% with the contribution of the central Executive.
