NTA Fare Determinations for 2017

[James Howard]

So yet again, the people hit worst are Irish Rail's best customers. I get to enjoy worse service for yet another 4% increase. Wonderful. To make matters worse, they got granted twice what they asked!

Yes, typical - I'm delighted to say that I'll be purchasing my last Short Hop Annual Rail Ticket for 2017 soon - I wont be commuting to Heuston from end of May 2017 - 'money for old rope' not a day too soon for such an inept service.

Hopefully they have removed all the two fares are cheaper than one situations.

No mention by NTA or Taxsaver of the GCD service for point to point tickets.

Taxsaver still refer to Heuston with usual Luas/DB extra but nothing about the new GCD service.

We will make inquiries for what happens to someone with a Sallins Dublin annual as clearly they are due a part refund from Dec 1st

The fares for the Phoenix Park service are hidden in the determination

Are the NTA hoping that GCD services will make up the revenue shortfall from Sallins. The report claims to have a method but I wouldn't be so sure.

Would be skeptical that Killcock will receive Leap in June.

Recent fare elasticity works undertaken for Iarnród Éireann indicate
that intercity cash customers have higher fare elasticity’s than previously thought. Therefore any fare increase on intercity cash fares would result in a fall-off in passenger numbers. With this in mind and considering the current cost of single and return fares on all intercity services the Authority has determined that there shall be no fare increase on any single or return intercity
fares in 2017.

This is gas.....have they only realized this now!

There are going to be a lot of peed off Leixlip commuters. Leap card fares to city centre up by 47 cent from €2.46 to €2.93, a jump of over 19%

Hardly hidden - the fares from Sallins inwards are clearly there in the suburban fares matrix which is in the Appendix.

I was talking about point-to-point fares such as from Newbridge.
