Planning travel across Ireland by bus, coach or rail? These sample fares from actual journeys can help you estimate costs and budget accordingly. Each fare includes the date it was last verified, allowing you to assess how current the information is.

The fares listed are for tickets purchased with card or cash at the time of travel, unless otherwise indicated. Whilst this collection cannot replace official fare-finding tools like Transport for Ireland’s journey planner, it offers real-world examples of what different journeys have cost. The fares are gathered from actual journeys and checked periodically, though updates may not occur frequently. Please use this information as a guide rather than a definitive source, and always verify current prices through the relevant operator before booking.
