You can now apply for the Youth Transport Card. Last December, the Junta de Andalucía approved the Youth Transport Card, with a 50% discount for young people.
Objective
The creation of a specific card for youth pursues two objectives:
- the rebate of this means of transport to a group that has important mobility needs and
- achieve an increase in the participation of public transport in the modal share so highly affected by the effect of the pandemic.
Benefits
As an action to promote and promote the use of public transport as well as to create awareness of the advantages of its use among the young population, framed all this in the measures to promote and promote the employability of young people carried out by the government of Andalusia, the Youth Transport Card is created, which implies:
In which means can it be used?
The Jovense Card can be used in all means of transport covered by the Transport Consortiums of the metropolitan areas of Andalusia.
With this additional 25% bonus on recharging, the user will be able to use the youth transport card in all modes of public transport of the Andalusian Metropolitan Transport Consortiums without distinction in the metropolitan area (metropolitan buses, catamaran , subways, urban buses, etc.). In addition, interoperability would continue to be guaranteed, that is, a youth card from a Consortium would also apply to the rest of the Consortiums.
Who can be holders of this card?
All young people under 30 years of age, resident in Andalusia and who are citizens of the European Union, may apply for the card. For those young people who are also holders of a Large Family Card, the discount would be cumulative.
How is the discount applied?
To apply this discount, the same procedure that is currently established for personalized Large Family cards in Consortiums is used, that is, applying the recharge bonus: A 25% recharge bonus would apply, which translates into a 20% discount on the trip fare.
How to apply for the Youth Transport Card?
This card is for personal use and non-transferable, so it has the user's photo as well as their name and ID superimposed /NIE. In the case of a young person and a large family, the card to be issued is the Large Family card on which the double bonus will be applied in recharging, the young person and the large family card that will be cumulative over the previous ones.
