Heads up Dublin commuters - Leap Card bus fares are changing from next week
NEXT MONDAY, REVISED fares for Dublin's commuter bus services will come into effect under a new Leap zonal fare system. The changes follow similar updates to rail fares introduced in April . The National Transport Authority (NTA) says the new system aims to make fares more 'equitable and easy-to-understand' by basing prices more closely on the straight-line distance between where journeys start and finish. This replaces the previous setup where different operators, like Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann, used separate fare zones that didn't always match up. The Leap area is divided into four zones, which will have different fares applied. Transport for Ireland Transport for Ireland In Zone 1, where bus passengers were already eligible to pay with a Leap Card, the 90-minute fare will remain unchanged (€2 for adults, €1 for young adults and students, and €0.65 for Child Leap Cards). Advertisement For Dublin commuter bus services in Zone 1, the fare will be €2.40 for adults and €1.20 for young adults, students and children using Leap Cards. Zone 2 will cover areas including Gormanston, Skerries, Kilcock, Sallins & Naas, Greystones and Kilcoole. The fare will cost €3.70 for a bus to Dublin for adults, and €1.85 for students, young adults and children. Drogheda, Enfield, Newbridge and Wicklow Town will be included in Zone 3, where it will cost adults €5.30 for a bus to the city centre. For students, young adults and children, it will cost €2.65. Zone 4 will be furthest from the city centre, covering areas like Kildare Town and Rathdrum at a cost of €6.30 for adults and €3.15 for students, young adults and children. Fares on services run by Bus Éireann and Go-Ahead Ireland will change from 16 June alongside the change in Leap Card fees – some will go up, some down, and others will stay about the same. Single journey fares have been updated, with Leap Card users getting the best prices compared to cash, according to the National Transport Authority. New daily, weekly, and monthly Leap Card products will also be introduced, covering travel between the zones and within central Dublin on TFI rail, Luas, and city buses. The weekly cap for travel in all four zones for an Adult Leap Card is €67.20. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Cork commuter rail services suspended for weekend upgrades
Rail services on the busy Cork commuter routes to Cobh and Midleton will be suspended this weekend to facilitate upgrades designed to treble capacity on the routes. All rail services from the city to Cobh and to Midleton on Saturday and Sunday will be cancelled, with limited bus transfers operating instead. The bus transfer service, running to a revised timetable, will operate between Cork and Cobh, and Cork and Midleton, across the weekend, with direct bus transfers between Cork and Fota during Fota Wildlife Park's opening hours of 9am to 6pm on both days. Customers are advised to check times before travel at or on the Iarnród Éireann app. Iarnród Éireann is shutting down the city's commuter rail services for the weekend so that it can carry out major upgrades on the routes as part of the Cork Area Commuter Rail investment programme. Engineers will complete signalling works as part of the investment, which seeks to treble the capacity of the commuter rail network. They will also work on track renewal to facilitate the twin-tracking of the line between Glounthaune and Midleton. The Cork Area Commuter Rail Programme is a series of interrelated projects that will ultimately enable train services every 10 minutes across the Cork rail network. It is funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility and the National Transport Authority. The recently opened Platform 6 at Kent Station, together with the Glounthaune-to-Midleton twin-track project and Cork area signalling and communications upgrades – both set for completion in 2026 – will deliver the network capacity to support 10-minute frequencies on each of Cork's three commuter lines, to Cobh, Midleton, and Mallow. The upgraded commuter rail network also includes proposals for several new stations, including at Blackpool and Monard, as outlined in the 2010 Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS).
