Transport detects fraud in one of every 10 free Media Distancia season tickets

Raquel Sánchez, Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, said: one of ten free traditional Media Distancia season tickets was fraudulently redeemedAn abuse that the government plans to tackle with a new sanctions regime could lead to deposit confiscation and withdrawal of that subscription by those who abuse it.

After leaving the European Union Transport Council in Brussels, Sánchez evaluated the regime change as follows: “necessary action” to combat fraud detected in 10% of approximately 640,000 subscriptions free middle distance games released, the category with the most abuse.

In all subscriptions exceeding 2.2 million, Transportation detected fraudulent use in 3% of the total.

“In the past months, we have identified some passengers being used in an irregular and fraudulent manner. places that were not used later had reservations and prevented other users from taking advantage of these places,” the minister explained.

Sánchez said the sanctions regime announced this Monday “tends to avoid” and allow such abuse of free subscriptions. “The scale is intact and can reach the largest number of users”.

The announced measures will allow Renfe Seize 20 Euro deposit and cancel free subscription to users at least three times, they declare that they do not cancel the seat reservation at least two hours in advance, unless they eventually travel on the train.

Although the pass will only be taken back from the line with irregular use, the railway operator will not be able to arrange a new pass for any medium distance exit-destination point within 30 days from the date of cancellation by being associated with that right of way.

The reductions in public rail transport have been very well received by the Spanish population, of which more than 2.2 million have already earned free passes, of which about 1.6 million are for travel in Cercanías and Rodalies.
