This €2.30 fare will be the same price for adult and student TFI Leap Card users. The price will then increase to €2.50 from March next year.There is also a new short adult Leap Card fare costing €1.60 for journeys up to 3km. The NTA said the €2.30 fare “will make interchange between Bus, Dart and Luas seamless, resulting in a more affordable, efficient and integrated public transport system”.

We already have the worst & one of the most expensive public transportation system in Europe. So, I don’t support the new fare increase. As the opposite, we have to slash all our fares down to €1, irrespective of the distance.
Meanwhile €10 for 30 mins out of Cork City. Public transport is pathetic.
It’s free in Luxembourg
