Bus Éireann to raise regional city fares by 5%

Fares on some Bus Éireann routes are set to increase by almost 5% from December 1.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has sanctioned a 10c increase on adult cash fares and a 5c increase on child cash fares on services in regional cities — Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford. A similar increase will apply in town services in Navan, Dundalk, Drogheda, and Balbriggan.

However, the NTA has turned down a request by Dublin Bus for average fare increases of around 1.5%.
