Note there are some wacky things between the South Western Suburban and the rest of the Dublin suburban network. For example with Adamstown-Connolly you pay €2.30 to use route 90 - no surcharge, but you have to pay €2.30 + 1.30 = €3.60 if you want to use Luas.

Is this up to date? http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_info/luas_fares.php If not: http://www.luas.ie/ul/336.pdf
