BusConnects: Discussion
Mr. Tim Gaston:
It is still our plan to move ahead with the fare the Deputy mentioned, the 90-minute fare. That will cover all of Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Ireland, Luas and DART. It will be pitched between the current mid-distance and the longer distance fare. Those are €2.25 and €2.60, so it is somewhere in there. We will set it not to raise revenue, but based on our modelling to show a revenue neutral position. To remind people, with that fare one has 90 minutes to start one's first journey from where one starts to when one starts the last leg of one's through journey. We think that covers the entire city area. That fare will come in as we start the roll-out of the new network.
