It costs 62 (or maybe 65 now) euro for a return 5 day ticket from Dublin to Cork. If you want to get a monthly ticket it costs approx 70 euro!
In the past year I have travelled on the Dublin to Waterford, Dublin to Galway and Dublin to Castlebar train. None of them had a 5 day return price. They each had a fixed cost in which the return journey could be made within 30 days of purchase.
So why are Irish Rail riding everyone on the Cork to Dublin train? More people travel that train than any other service in the county. It serves Kildare, Tipperary, Limerick, Cork and sometimes Kerry. Surely the more popular journeys should be more affordable?
