As of December 1, Iarnród Éireann customers will face revised fares on some services.

The National Transport Authority has determined that a range of Iarnród Éireann fares will increase by an average of 1.2 percent. However, a number of fare types will see no increase.

These changes include a simplified structure on the Cork commuter fare, which will see a fare reduction of up to 25 per cent.

Further to this, Intercity express single fares will be reduced by an average of 5 percent to improve value and reduce the differential between the Dublin Short Hop Zone and Intercity zone.

Under-fives will travel for free on all DART, Commuter and Intercity lines.

The Iarnród Éireann website has further information which you can check out right here.

The National Transport Authority will this morning announce a new operator for 10 per cent of Dublin Bus routes.

It's understood that Luas operator Transdev, a number of British companies and Dublin Bus itself have applied for the franchise.

The 23 routes in question all serve suburbs in the greater Dublin area and do not go into the city centre. They include the 185 (Bray – Newtownmountkennedy), the 75 (Dún Laoghaire – Tallaght) and the 220 (Ballymun to Mulhuddart).

Some fear the move may lead to privatisation of some services, however, the NTA have denied this saying that the authority would still own the bus fleet and revenue, but would pay an external operator to run the routes.

Whoever wins the franchise will have to maintain existing bus services and no Dublin Bus employees will face redundancy.

The affected routes:

17 Rialto to Blackrock

17a Blanchardstown Centre to Kilbarrack

18 Palmerstown(Old Lucan Road)to Sandymount

33a Swords to Balbriggan

Getting a rickshaw to your beloved post-Coppers three-in-one is part and parcel of a night out. 

However, Dublin City Council recently released a warning regarding the safety of these man-powered vehicles.

The rickshaws are vastly unregulated, and generally uninsured.

New laws to protect service users and providers are to be prepared by Government to regulate the rickshaw industry.

The National Transport Authority has launched a public consultation on these potential regulations.

The public survey wants to hear the views of rickshaw passengers and drivers.

“Earlier this year, Minister for Transport Shane Ross asked the NTA to seek the views of the public and key stakeholders in relation to the operation of rickshaws in Ireland,' said NTA Deputy CEO Hugh Creegan.

“The regulation of rickshaws has been a matter of public interest for some time now and the information we gather in this process will bring some clarity to bear on how the relationship with regulatory authorities will be defined into the future.

“We would encourage anybody who has an interest in the area to share their views so that we can work towards the most appropriate regulatory regime.”
