Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has announced Government’s decision to reduce fares on PSO public transport services by 20% (on average) until the end of 2022. This is a meaningful measure that will help to mitigate some of the impact of rising living costs for the hundreds of thousands of people who use PSO services every day.
The National Transport Authority will work with the public transport operators in the coming weeks with a view to rolling out these fare reductions across the public transport network in early May.
The 20% average reduction in fares comes on top of the previously announced Young Adult Card which will provide young people, aged between 19 and 23, with an average 50% discount.
Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan said:
"These initiatives will help tackle the increasing cost of living and are in line with Ireland’s climate objectives.
"The lifting of most COVID restrictions has led to an increase in transport demand and these supports help meet this demand in a sustainable manner."
