    I've done a search but can find any info on these.

    I have to make quite a few trips over the course of a weekend next month (Dublin - Carrick; Carrick- Galway; Galway- Charleville; Charleville- Dublin) Bought individually it'll come to approx €90 by bus

    Bus Eireann's Open Road Pass https://194.106.151.95/asp/ExplorerList.asp allows for 3 days travel over 6 days for €54. If purchased on the friday will I be able to use it on the Fri, Sat and Sunday as my 3 days? I can't find any terms and conditions on the site. I will need to make 2 journeys on the Sunday - is this allowed on this ticket. The site says ''For every day of travel you require, you have two days to use it - i.e. Three days travel out of six up to fifteen days travel on a thirty day Open Road Pass.''

    From what I can make out this will suit my needs but I don't want to buy it and then find I can't use it at some stage over the weekend!!!

    God, I wish I drove!!!

    Thanks

    With the ticket, you have unlimited travel on any 3 days that you choose over a consecutive 6 day period.

    The 6 day period starts on the date that you buy the ticket.

    So if you bought it today, you can use it today, tomorrow and Sunday, or today, Monday, Wednesday etc. On each day that you use it, you can get on/off as many buses as you like.

    So, in other words, you have to use it the following 2 days after the 1st one you use it.

    No, after the first day you use it, you can use it on two more days, which DON'T need to be the next two, but need to be somewhere in the next 5.

    I think.

    In other words over a 6 day consecutive period, you can use the ticket on any 3 days. They do not have to be consecutive.
