Finally after 12 years of leap card the NTA has finally moved to implement a proper fair and consistent fare structure for Dublin. Significant fare drops
The distinction between Rail/Bus/Luas is gone, one capping rate, one monthly ticket, one annual ticket price.

It's going to take until Q3 to roll out.
Overall its a good deal for commuters, a fare might go up but the caps are going down so over a week you are ahead
Rail fares on some secondary routes go up a little ~4%

The band's still seem very lumpy. 3.90 to Gormanston but 6.00 to Laytown. Surely it could have been more graduated.

That's the nature of zonal systems, still its a significant fare reduction over current

Very welcoming and easier to budget now. Just wish they made the leap cards digital and you didn’t have top up in €5 instalments and that the app could notify you when you need them to top up before realising at the bus.

Contactless payment is out to tender currently, that solves both of the issues. Virtual cards held on a phone are also coming.
You can top up for any amount greater than €5 at Irish Rail ticket machines if you pay in coin/notes in increments of 5¢
