Green Party's Eamon Ryan slams Bus Eireann for charging cyclists €10 to carry bike on board

State-operated Bus Eireann lumps this extra charge on top of the standard fare, despite the Government insisting it is serious about tackling climate change.

Leo Varadkar said: “What I want to do is put in place the right incentives and the right disincentives that encourage people to make the changes that need to be made.” “We were always very frustrated because not only was there a charge but whether the bicycle could be taken or not at all. The official position was that is up to the driver.

A spokeswoman for Bus Eireann told the Irish Mirror last night: “Bicycles will be carried only if sufficient accommodation is available.
