    Normal Cash Return is €3.30....Abbey Street to Point.

    Smart Card makes it €2.90.

    Still quite a stiff tarriff ?

    It's a new additional zone why wouldn't they charge extra for it?

    Actually if we look at the cost of benchmarking per year
    An initial assessment suggests that full implementation of the recommendations in the report would give rise to a full year cost of over EUR 1 billion in current terms

    then EUR 96 million for a project of this nature seems good value:D

    Green Line tickets haven't gone up. They are still the same as they were. The only tickets that have gone up are the All Zones tickets on the red line (because theres now an extra zone), the Flexi Tickets for use on both lines and the Combi Tickets valid on both lines and Dublin Bus. If you only use the Green Line then your ticket prices haven't gone up. Red Line line pasengers also don't have to pay anything extra unless they want to travel on the extension from Connolly. They just buy a 4 zone ticket instead of the new 5 zone one.

    If you buy monthly or annual tickets, you can select between the red and green line and not pay a premium for extensions to the other line.

    I agree it was a little sneaky not to mention the price increase when the line opened, it didn't occur to me that they would rise. I guess we can expect another next year when the green line extension to Cherrywood opens.
