The National Transport Authority confirmed that the changes will also affect the services of Luas, DART and Commuter, although many of them will actually have a price reduction.
The move is expected to result in a simpler fee structure “that will support the continuous movement between different services and means of transport without a financial penalty.”
The fares of Dublin bus between 4 and 13 stops have increased from € 2.85 to € 3, while the € 3.30 fare for more than 13 stops remains the same.
The Leap Card fare of € 2.15 between 4 and 13 stops has increased to € 2.25 and the € 2.60 fare when traveling over 13 stops has been reduced to € 2.50.
Luas Leap fares will now have a fixed price instead of the peak and non-peak prices where “most Luas passengers with Leap Card will see a price cutting or won’t see the fare changes”.
DART’s monthly and annual fares have also been reduced: monthly rates went from € 154 to € 145, while the annual price changed from € 1,540 to € 1,450.
