Bit expensive isn't it? Admittedly I don't live down the south but surely 12e single is a bit much no?

You need to fill the seats on the way back, target Tralee students living in Cork and Limerick.

Have to agree the €12 is fairly pricey each way.

Thanks for the replies guys,the price i don't think is overly expensive,we collect the students from suitable central locations in kerry and bring students to their accomadation on a sunday night not a bus station where they have to link up with another bus or get a Taxi costs a good bit more.
We have been told by students who will travel with us that it is very good value,the distance is approx 70mls and bus eireann charge a student €13.10 for the same trip.
They will have free internet access as well whilst on the bus.which no one else in kerry is offering to students

Ye have wireless internet on those mini buses do you? Thats impressive. Does it actually work well? Who provides it?

Bluezone are providing the wifi access on the buses,they also are putting the bluetooth conection on 1 of the buses as well,anyone with bluetooth only enabled phone can still access the internet its the newest technology out there in Ireland and the speed is almost double what any one else have or can offer,we still need vodaphone coverage on route but it works really well.

The wifi is your best asset IMO. I would definately pay a bit extra to have wifi on the trip.
