The taxi service in Granada will experience its largest increase in affiliated municipalities to the Joint Service Area (APC) in 2026, following the approval in June of ten more localities joining, which will bring 24 new licenses. This continuous expansion, spanning six years, aims to offer citizens a broader mobility alternative between the metropolitan area and the capital.
The first incorporation of municipalities into Granada's APC took place in 2020, when the capital had 557 licenses and Cenes de la Vega and Pulianas joined with two additional licenses. In 2021, Maracena and Peligros joined the service with seven licenses, with Peligros being the first municipality to become part of the APC without directly bordering the capital.
The area has grown progressively. In 2022, Ogíjares, Churriana de la Vega, and Vegas del Genil applied to join. The following year, in 2023, Huétor Vega and Armilla were incorporated, contributing 16 licenses, 14 of which were for Armilla. Later, in 2024, La Zubia and Cájar accessed the APC with six more licenses.
After a pause in 2025, the service is seeing its greatest growth this year. In June, the entry of ten municipalities was approved: Alhendín, Atarfe, Albolote, Alfacar, Las Gabias, Otura, Cúllar Vega, Pinos Genil, Monachil, and Víznar. These localities, totaling over 100,000 inhabitants, will provide 24 new licenses to Granada's APC.
Expansion is expected to continue, despite differing opinions within the Gremial. Another four municipalities – Pinos Puente, Güevéjar, Nívar, and Cogollos Vega – are on a waiting list for future accessions. The incorporation requires municipalities to request to join, obtain approval from the Junta de Andalucía, and subsequently from the Granada City Council in plenary session, in addition to bordering areas already integrated into the service.
