Rambler Tickets

[Jackass]

Hi, I was just wondering about dual purpose tickets...Namely DART and LUAS 7 day ticket for example..does such a ticket exist? (I know you can get dart/bus) ...and if so, where can I buy it and how much are they?

Also, how do they work? Is it 7 days from when you buy it, or 7 days from when you first use it?

Thanks.

Yes it does exist and its €31:50

Its valid all stations within Balbriggan/Maynooth/Hazelhatch/Kilcoole

Available from all Luas ticket machines and all IE booking offices

Valid for 7 days from date of purchase

You won't find it on the IE or Luas website but further details

Thanks Mark...Actually I tried the machiene before, I cant remember the exact name of the button, but think it was "7 day tickets" or something, but it just came straight up Luas + Bus, insert money... but i never saw any for dart also...(it was rush hour in the morning, with big que behind me...didn't want to fiddle with the machiene for too long!! )

I'm on the Stephens Green - Sandyford line if that makes any difference...

So where would an IE booking office be? I pressume i cant buy it at my local station, do they have one in pearce? (only major station im ever around..)

The Luas ticket machine should show you the 7 day ticket but its clear to see the RPA are doing there best to prevent integrated ticketing.....

Any and I mean ANY manned IE station can issue the 7 day Luas + Rail. Do not take no for an answer the ticket exists, it has a price

Oh, and I've just done my maths...Over 5 days, this ticket will save me a whopping €0.25 a week!! Fantastic!

But still, I'll use the dart over the weekends too, and it's still handy to have in the morning, no queing

But thanks a million for the help mark, I'll do that.

Is it possible to get a DART/RAIL/LUAS weekly ticket?

MarkoP11

Nope, seems like a simple idea though, no technical reason why its not possible, you don't have to waste €30 million to get integrated ticketing its already here if the RPA got the act together

There is annual Bus/Rail/Luas ticket its €1,400 and tax relief is available on that

You can't buy a LUAS + Rail ticket from the LUAS ticket machines, only LUAS + Dublin Bus. Why not? Only God knows that answer!

Seems to explain why Howth Heuston works but why Heuston Howth doesn't, the very body in charge of integrated ticketing is knowingly blocking possible journeys
