Changes to Taxsaver Monthly and Annual Fares

Following a determination by the National Transport Authority, annual Taxsaver fares on Bus Éireann’s city and stage coach services will increase by an average of 6% from November 1st 2012.

The price of monthly Taxsaver tickets on Bus Éireann’s city and stage coach services will increase by an average of 6% from January 1st 2013.

According to the National Transport Authority, the price increases are necessary because of the estimated 6% reduction in State funding for Bus Éireann in 2013, increased fuel costs, the decline in passenger numbers and revenues, and previous cuts in subvention since 2009.

Details on the exact level of fare increases on Bus Éireann city and stage carriage services are available on www.nationaltransport.ie.
