  "account": "Torrevieja is set to end free bus travel for most residents in October as the town introduces new fares for its urban transport network. Single fares of €1.50 will apply to most journeys, with multi-journey passes available for regular passengers. A 10-journey pass will cost €11, a 20-journey pass will be €22, and unlimited travel for 30 days costs €44. Visitors can purchase Tourist Cards for three days (€10) or seven days (€18). Free travel will continue for pensioners, people over 65, those with disabilities, residents under 26, large families, and long-term unemployed individuals, provided they meet the required conditions and have been registered on the Torrevieja padron for over a year. The changes represent a more targeted approach to free and reduced-price travel, alongside additional routes, increased coverage, and a modernized bus fleet as part of Torrevieja's public transport overhaul.",
