Dublin Bus 5 day Rambler: €27.50

27.50/5 = €5.50

So, for the same price as your 2 Travel 90 journeys, Leap card offers unlimited DB travel for a day.

What was that you were saying about Leap card being crap by comparison?

Yes, and that is still dividing the ticket into 5 separately usable units instead of the 10 I currently have.

No matter how you spin it it's at the very best a reduction in choice.

in general DB service is quite poor in terms of route choice & length. The fact that the 41c takes 55 mins to get into town from Swords, while the Swords Express can get in there in 20 minutes is testament to that. No wonder they're haemorrhaging customers with all these unrealistic route amalgamations.

blame network destruct. the routes take so long because of the nature of dublin busses service, its to make sure that as many areas and people can be served, maybe going back to the old way of fast routes and the slow community social routes when things improve again is what should happen.

There has to be a cash option.
I cycle to work.
I don't want a leap card and I use the bus so infrequenty, I should be allowed pay the cash fare.
Tourists also should have this option afforded to them

if you travel to Blanchardstown from Shankill on one day and back on another day it would cost you €10.40 as opposed to €5.50

shankill-town €2.60
town-blanch €2.60
blanch-town €2.60
town-shankill €2.60

if you travel both ways only certain days. Each day would cost you €6.90 as opposed to €5.50

I'm a fan of the new €2.05 fare as it makes up the lion's share of my journeys but I could see your point if you have to travel in and out of Dublin to get where you're going.

it's all very well having unlimited travel but if you don't need/use it then it has no added value.

Such self serving Dribble As a Coach Driver In Dublin I witness daily the kamikaze pilots on bikes who have no respect for anybody or any law, The sooner mandatory training for cyclists is introduced the better, The speed at which they are traveling along the Quays in Traffic would terrify Sean Kelly,
