All good must end sooner or later. Since last year, people in Madrid have been enjoying discounts on public transport season tickets in the capital, thanks to measures that have been taken there and elsewhere due to soaring inflation.
But the new government, after the municipal and regional elections, decided to put an end to these rebates. The date for the return to standard rates is June 30, so let’s see everything that changes and remember how to take advantage of discounts when buying subscriptions from the iPhone.
The new prices of Madrid transport subscriptions
Here is a table with the reduced prices we have until June 30 and the prices that will apply thereafter:

Here’s how you can top up your Madrid transport pass from your iPhone
Don’t forget that you can top up your Madrid transport pass from its official app for iPhone, available for free on the App Store. All you have to do is hold your physical card near the top of the phone and choose the subscription you want to pay for from the app itself:
The app will ask you to you are registered with a user account and you entered a payment method such as debit/credit card. But once you do, you can save yourself the queues that can form at the station’s vending machines, by being able to buy tickets and passes from your iPhone whenever you want.
