Madrid, June 21 (EFE).- The acting president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced this Wednesday that she will maintain the 60% discount on transport passes until the end of the year, which will benefit seven million of users.
This has been one of the measures announced by Ayuso in the Madrid Assembly, who will govern in this legislature with an absolute majority thanks to the 70 seats that the PP obtained in the May 28 elections.
“I announce that we are going to extend this reduction of 60% in the price of monthly public transport passes and 50% of multi-trip tickets until the end of the year”, Díaz Ayuso has advanced.
Aid for public transport was promoted in September last year by the central government of Pedro Sánchez, which assumed 30% of the cost of the reduction, with the remaining 20% corresponding to the autonomous communities.
However, the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso matched its aid to that of the Government, which means that the people of Madrid enjoy a 60% discount.
