Dublin Bus Fares Increase Feb 6th

[Mark Gleeson]

As expected Dublin Bus fares go up on Sat Feb 6th

Only a small number of fares will increase and for short term at least the weekly and monthly fares are not changing

Is there anywhere we can submit objections to the proposed Rail fare increases?

Fed up having to paying premium prices for a budget service

[Mark Gleeson]

There is no public process, but as the NTA have shown they will block increases

We have made several submissions to National Transport Authority highlighting issues with Irish Rail.

The only fare likely to be changed are adult single/returns in Dublin short hop. There will be no increase in smartcard, weekly or monthly tickets. So any increase is avoidable if you have a smartcard or use weekly or monthly tickets
