NTA planning a Simpler Fare Structure - there will only be two Leap fares

• A "90 Minute Ticket" that covers all bus, DART or Luas

trips started within 90 minutes - estimated fare will be between €2.25 and €2.60 – to ensure there is no added cost to a passenger due to the need to change between 2 public transport services

• A lower short distance fare will be available for short trips on a single

bus 28/11/2019: NTA confirmed by email that 90-minute fare structure will be brought in prior to rollout of the Network Redesign. Bus passes and tax saver tickets will continue to work as they do today.

https://busconnects.ie/i nitiatives/just-the- ticket/ “Without changing the ticketing systems and the bus fares structure, the

• verall project would

not deliver the full benefits that are possible under this transformation.”

Note: “Morning Peak Services included” is poorly labelled and returns afternoon Peak Services too!

30 minute fr 30 minute frequenc equency

• Frequency of all 3 “all day” routes serving Celbridge (C4, 259, W8) is every 30 minutes with

no increase in frequency at peak times.

• W8 is the only orbital that will not benefit from greater frequencies at peak-times
