Types of metropolitan pink card
There are two types of metropolitan pink card: the free metropolitan pink card and the reduced-fare metropolitan pink card.
The use of one or other pink card (free or reduced-fare) depends on annual income and the municipality of registered residence.
Free pink card
The free pink card entails a single annual payment for management expenses and compulsory travel insurance. To use it correctly, you must validate it (put it through the machine) every time you travel on public transport and have your DNI or equivalent document with you, as proof that the person using it is the owner.
Reduced-fare pink card
The reduced-fare pink card entitles you to use aT-4 card. A T-4 must be validated each time public transport is used and must be accompanied by a pink card and DNI or any other document proving identity.
