Just months after LUAS drivers secured pay-rises, it's going to cost you more to be driven by them.
Tram fares are rising from next month, but most other public transport prices are staying the same - or falling.
The National Transport Authority has set public transport fares for the next year, boasting that for three quarters of people, there will be no fare increase -with some of them even paying less.
Dublin Bus cash and leap fares stay the same although schoolchildren using leap cards will see the price go up by 2 cent. There is also a small increase for people using pre-paid, monthly and yearly cards.
Good news for people who come into Dublin on the train from Sallins or Kilcock – a change in price zone means fares will be cut almost in half.
Luas passengers won’t be happy as some prices are going up, just months after the end of a pay row at the company. Cash returns tickets are increasing as well as adult single tickets while there are changes to prepaid, yearly and monthly cards.
Anne Graham, CEO of the National Transport Authority said “We believe that the prices people pay should accurately reflect the journeys they’re making."
“We’re also endeavoring to cut back on the wide array of different fare types, stages and products, so that cost of travel is easier to understand for the passenger", she added.
The National Transport Authority says Leap will always be at least 20% cheaper than cash for a single journey.
