Expressway fare increases on two Mayo bus routes

EXPRESSWAY, Ireland’s largest coach network, has announced changes to its fares, with effect from October 21, in response to the impact of rising costs on the business.

This is the first fare review since 2018.

The changes mean that passengers travelling to/from Mayo will see the following fare changes:

· Route 22 Ballina to Dublin City: The adult single fare will increase by €1.50 to €23.50. No change to adult return fare.

· Route 52 Ballina to Galway: The adult single fare will increase by €3 to €14 while the adult return fare will increase by €2.50 to €21.50.

Day return tickets will end on all routes. Day returns account for less than seven per cent of Expressway tickets nationwide.

Customers booking online will benefit from a new 5% discount.

Young people registered with a Young Adult or Student Leap Card will only pay 50% of the standard fare, while free travel pass holders continue to travel free of charge.
