EXPRESSWAY, Bus Éireann’s commercial coach service, has announced that it will maintain single fares on the Route 13/14 Limerick-Tralee/Killarney coach services.

The price of single fares will remain the same, however, the price of return fares on numerous routes will see a rise.

A return ticket on Route 13 will rise from €10 to €11.20, while a return ticket on Route 14 will now cost €21, instead of €21.50.

Monthly return tickets will no longer be available on these routes.

Bus Éireann say the increases are to offset the impact of rising costs on the business and encourage people to pre-book tickets.

Young adults aged 19 – 23 and students aged 24+ will continue to only pay 50 per cent of the standard fare when buying online, provided they have a valid Young Adult or Student Leap Card.

While, free Travel Pass holders will continue to travel for free on all routes, with an option to prebook and guarantee their seat on a particular service for €2 per journey leg.

A 33 per cent early bird discount is available for online ticket purchases made at least seven days in advance of travel.
