According to this report on Schengen News face masks will no longer be compulsory on public transport in Spain from February 7th. There is still a requirement to wear a face mask when visiting healthcare locations.

The good news here is that covid infections are low enough to allow this change despite it being the winter, a time of year that has previously seen a rise in infections.

Rgds,

Hello

Great news, as a regular bus user it will probably take me a couple of weeks to remember that when I grab phone, money, bus pass & keys & go out to the bus stop--I wont need the obligatory face mask after almost 3years of continual use !

After being on a coach trip today with loads coughing and spluttering it was probably a good thing masks were being worn. Mind you, loads with them under their noses which seems to negate any possible benefit.
