Great business plan – numbers using Dublin Bus are falling so let’s push up the fares………..

Perhaps more people would use it, if the service wasnt so shoddy

Great to see how a monopoly can hold commuters with no other option to ransom.

My God, isn’t it expensive enough. People are already pushed to the pin if their collars without this!!!

Unreal, people do not have the money, plain and simple, but like our Government, Dub Bus somehow believe that we all have wads n stashes of money under our floorboards and matress! On average it is 0.30c extra per fare, they make a fortune from ‘unclaimed’ ticket change receipts and there are less buses that a year ago, it just doesnt add up! Disgusting!!!

that is a shocking increase. and buses are to be scaled back this coming year too? jesus.

It’s actually cheaper for me to drive to work now, seriously thinking of it after this hike in fares!

Irish Bus and Irish rail are a disgrace – I travelled to Sligo and back today on the train. 3 hours each way the average speed is 43 MPH they travelled faster in 1940. The Bus service is as bad as the ethos in the transport system is lacking any vision. I think they are corrupt organisations as there is no other explanation why the quality of the trains are so poor. To travel the same distance on China on a train it takes 40 minutes YES 7 times quicker than Ireland and the engines we bought were twice the price. Brown envelopes. Bonuses paid when they should be jailed for poor service and inferior product.

I can never figure out what the actual fare anyway so prefer to walk. For some reason they just do not want you you to know the fare at bus stops or on the bus. Psychic bus fare prices perhaps?
Easier to walk in the city. Rathmines etc., is only 15 minutes from city center.
There are far too many buses going through the same routes into the city center anyway. Whole system seems to be strange.

Good ol’ rip off Ireland, Squeezeeee out every last penny!

It’s going to “encourage” more people to take the leap to integrated ticketing.

Most of those price rises are actually over 15%. How much does the Government make on excise Duty on the fuel purchased by Dublin bus and Bus Eireann? I imagine its a large figure. Dont charge them the excise and let them all drop their fairs.

How is it possible that its between €.75 and €1.5 to travell on most european city transport systems for the period of an hour and a half rail and bus?

Why is it when the City of Dublin finally gets a light rail system and it becomes popular, profitable and sucessfull that they decide to increase the prices at peak times in order discourage people from travelling? ( know this is luas rather than Dublin bus but same craic)

Increase the fares? And by so much? So when do they give a better service? Dublin bus is appallingly bad. It’s rarely on time if ever,I’ve often waited for a bus for 45 minutes (no I’m not exaggerating) and been late for work. They should be encouraging public transport not ripping you off more! At least give a better more reliable service if your going to rob us blind!!

Time to privatize all the Dublin Bus routes with independent operators bidding for each route. Lowest fare bid should get to operate each route! Why are we being held to ransom by vested interests and spineless politicians….protecting sacred cows like Dublin Bus

cycling is the new way forward!

Have to say it again folks BUS WANKERS!…

This card is going to be pain in the …..

Ã’n yer bike !!!

Why can’t it just be a flat €2 and they can stop accepting cash and force everyone over to the new system. It would cut 15mins from every bus journey. 15mins of wages, 15mins of petrol, 1000’s of bus routes a day… It all adds up
