'I bet if we made it regulation for everyone politician and government employee to take public transport, the system would improve dramatically,' writes ShaunaReports
I understand the price of just about everything is going up - but when many countries across Europe are doing everything in their power to encourage more people onto public transport by cutting fares - Northern Ireland’s price hike is a disgrace.
One woman told me it’s already £10 return a day for her to take the train to work - which she says she “cannot justify”.She says a “total overhaul of NI public transport is needed” and she is not wrong. I know fares have been frozen for about four years - but anyone who already uses the public transport system here will tell you they’re already higher than they need to be to entice more people to ditch their cars.
“Most NI Railways cash single fares will increase between 10p and £1 depending on distance. Again, customers should consider our range of good value return tickets, weekly and monthly discounts.“Other examples of good value fares include our family day tickets available at weekends and school holiday periods offering unlimited day travel for 2 adults and up to 4 children for just £10 and £23 .
