眼下許多歐洲國家都面臨物價飛漲和能源短缺的困境，為了鼓勵民眾乘坐公共交通工具，西班牙政府宣布從9月1日起國家鐵路公司將免費提供包含至少10次往返旅程的聯程票。

Public transport prices 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 100% discounts.

為了應對能源價格飛漲和通脹率飆升，西班牙各地的國營公共交通價格已經下調了一半，而最近西班牙政府更是宣布了新的100%減價方案。

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，乘客將可免費乘坐由西班牙國家鐵路公司運營的多趟列車。

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has 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 September 1 up 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，西班牙國家鐵路公司將免費提供城際列車、近郊高鐵和中距離高鐵的聯程票。

The measure excludes single-journey tickets, or long-distance travels, according to public broadcaster TVE. Multi-journey tickets include a minimum of 10 return trips.

據西班牙國家電視臺稱，聯程票包含了至少10次往返旅程，單程票和長途票不免費。

"This measure encourages to the maximum the use of this type of collective public transport to guarantee the needed daily commute with a safe, reliable, comfortable, economic and sustainable means of transportation, amid the extraordinary circumstances of the steady increase of energy and fuel prices," the Spanish Ministry of Transport said in a statement.

西班牙交通部在一份聲明中稱：“在能源和燃料價格持續上漲的特殊情況下，這項措施能夠鼓勵大家盡量乘坐公共交通工具，用安全、可靠、舒適、經濟和可持續的公交工具來保障民眾的日常通勤需求?！?/p>

The Renfe scheme was announced shortly after the Spanish government committed to a reduction of 50% on public transport fees for state-owned transport.

在西班牙政府承諾將國營公交費用降低50%后不久，西班牙國家鐵路公司就宣布了這一計劃。

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采取措施降低公交費用的歐洲國家。

Last month, Germany launched a €9 ($9.50) unlimited monthly public transport ticket that can be used on local and regional transport across the country. The deal, part of a government energy relief package, is scheduled to run until the end of August.

就在上個月，德國推出了一種可無限次在全國各地使用的當地和區域交通月票，每張月票售價9歐元（約合人民幣60元）。這一活動將持續到今年8月底，是政府能源援助方案的一部分。

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所有公共交通工具上使用的大折扣“環保票”，目的是鼓勵人們把小汽車留在家中，選乘公交出行。

Klimaticket costs just $1,267 (€1,095) a year, which works out to around $3.50 a day.

環保年票的售價為1267美元（約合人民幣8553元），相當于每天3.5美元左右。
