New Dublin Bus student tickets

C.D.

Only saw the poster as I was getting off the bus today- so I didn't get a chance to have a closer look.

I *think* I saw 30 days non-consecutive travel for students for €75? The DB website has no info on these; would somebody be able to tell me if I was imagining things or not?

Maybe it's here on this horrendously colored website

Nah that's the current crop of student tickets- have one in my wallet as we speak! Must keep my eye out for this poster I only caught a glimpse of. It would however not surprise me if a new website was launched with out of date information..

yep seen it today €75 for 30 day non consecutive rambler and €15 for 5 day.
Very good value these are €100 and €15. Even at adult prices they are great value.

Just saw the poster this evening whilst getting off a bus as well. 30 day one equates to €2.50 per day, great value. Quelle suprise that the DB site hasn't been updated with the information yet, although I must confess that I actually quite like the new design.

I saw the posters for €75. Good value..except you don't get to use the Luas. (30 day bus and luas student ticket is €82 (was €73 last year..)So you save a whole €7 for not using the Luas..the saving should be more than that!

The monthly ticket is consecutive days while the rambler is non consecutive. For people who only use the bus 5 days a week or just the odd day it works out much better.
I get 5 weeks+ out of my ticket.

Yeah good point but the convenience shouldn't jack up the price from what it should be really. A bit annoyed seeing as I use the bus every single day, so do a lot of people I know as well.
