Cut in public transport fares for under 25s to be extended to private bus operators

The NTA is due to make announcement this week and participating commercial bus operators will soon pass on the cut in costs to commuters

Currently the Government’s fare reduction only applied to State-subsidised public transport operators such as the Luas, Dublin Bus, and Irish Rail.

The current 50% cut to public transport fares for those aged under 25 will be extended to some private bus operators, the Irish Examiner has confirmed.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) is due to make the announcement this week and participating commercial bus operators will soon pass on the cut in costs to commuters.
