Málaga Offers Free Public Transport for Children

Málaga Introduces Free Bus Rides for Children Under 14 Málaga, Spain – In a move to promote sustainable public transport, the Málaga City Council has announced a new initiative offering free bus rides for children under 14 years old. The program, starting July 1st, 2025, is funded by the central government's subsidies for sustainable public transport. The new system will use a special card. "This is a significant step towards making public transport more accessible and affordable for families in Málaga," said a spokesperson for the City Council. While the initial funding covers children up to 14, the City Council has pledged to continue the free service for children under 7 even if central government funding ends in January 2026. This demonstrates a commitment to supporting families and promoting sustainable travel within the city. The initiative is expected to reduce traffic congestion and promote environmental responsibility. The 50-40% discount on urban transport tickets will continue until the end of 2025.
