Limerick City Bus fare???

Kate2293

Hi all,

I will be moving to Caherdavin in the next few weeks and as I work in the city I'm thinking the bus might be the most straight forward way to get into work.

The bus Eireann website is so hard to navigate, does anyone have any advise on the cheapest fare for travel Monday-Friday? What I'm seeing at the moment is telling me the bus will cost the same as what parking in the city is costing me at them moment - surely that can't be right??

Also does anyone have any advise on the Limerick bus service? Is it efficient and generally on time?

Thanking you! :cool:

If you get a Leap Card it will cost you €1.61 a journey or €74 for a calendar month.

City bus fares in nauseating detail here: http://www.limericktransport.info/2016/09/bus-fares-prices-tickets-where-to-buy-bus-tickets.html

Caherdavin is served by Bus Éireann.

If your company is part of Tax-Saver, then a monthly ticket is just over €30, so well worth it.

In Galway Bus Éireann have chosen to ignore the over 7.5km fare, except on one route where the fare used to be even higher. Suspect similar has happened in Limerick, but don't know for sure.

I'd considering cycling if I was living in Caherdavin. It's an easy trip and obviously cheaper. The busses can be frustrating because they often don't turn up on time or at all, they cost money, get stuck in traffic and you've no flexibility with them.

It's not a long walk either, save the bus for rainy days

Relying on the bus is a nightmare in Limerick.

I thought €2.30 was the standard fare, never knew there were other fares for longer distance.
