> Spain to make some train journeys free from September
物價(jià)飆升 西班牙宣布9月起可免費(fèi)坐火車(chē)

Public transport fares on state-owned service across Spain have already been slashed in half in response to rapidly rising energy and inflation rates. Now the government has announced further discounts.
為了應(yīng)對(duì)能源價(jià)格飛漲和通脹率飆升，西班牙各地的國(guó)營(yíng)公共交通價(jià)格已經(jīng)下調(diào)了一半，而最近西班牙政府更是宣布了新的100%減價(jià)方案。

As of September, passengers will be able to travel across various trains operated by public train network Renfe for absolutely nothing.
今年9月起，乘客將可免費(fèi)乘坐由西班牙國(guó)家鐵路公司運(yùn)營(yíng)的多趟列車(chē)。

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that multi-journey tickets for trains operated by the network's public services Cercanías, Rodalies and Media Distance (equivalent to local and medium-distance journeys) are to be free of charge from Sept 1 until the end of the year.
西班牙首相佩德羅?桑切斯宣布，從9月1日到今年年底，西班牙國(guó)家鐵路公司將免費(fèi)提供城際列車(chē)、近郊高鐵和中距離高鐵的聯(lián)程票。

Spain isn't the only European country that's taken measures to reduce public transport costs.
西班牙并非唯一一個(gè)采取措施降低公交費(fèi)用的歐洲國(guó)家。

Last month, Germany launched a €9 unlimited monthly public transport ticket that can be used on local and regional transport across the country.

In late 2021, Austria introduced a heavily discounted "climate ticket" valid on all modes of public transport in the country, with the aim of encouraging people to leave their cars at home.
2021年底，奧地利推出了一種可在該國(guó)所有公共交通工具上使用的大折扣“環(huán)保票”，目的是鼓勵(lì)人們把小汽車(chē)留在家中，選乘公交出行。
