Irish Rail charges €2 fee for laser card

The week that Irish Rail is condemned for its careless maintenance programme it raises its fares.

Up to now if you bought a ticket on the internet using a laser card there was no charge. This week that is no longer the case and passengers now have to pay €2 for every laser card transaction.

And not a single whisper about it in the media. A two euro increase on a €10 fare is a substantial hike.

But an Irish Rail insider has confirmed to this blog that the rail company will shortly be offering very attractve fares on their website - even 'free fares'.

As for Irish Rail's fare structuring policy - it is simply daft and inequitable.
