Cheaper than Dubin Bus ... but why?

[Eddie]

You'd normally expect to pay more for a train... it's usually quicker and more comfortable.

Yet comparable single fare journeys I make using Cash / Leap card are cheaper by Dart. Why?

[Mark Gleeson]

Leap fares on Irish Rail started out being based on half the return fare so less than two singles add in that there is a sweet spot in that Dublin Bus charge max fare after 13 stages, at that point the Irish Rail fare is cheaper

Obviously there comes a point when this swaps over and Irish Rail is a lot more expensive
