Bus Éireann tickets - Kells-Dublin

Igor2155

Hello

Im kind of confused about bus eirann tickets that can be found here:

It says: Weekly (10 Journey) Tickets

Weekly (10 Journey) Tickets are valid for 10 journeys as specified, and as shown by fare paid and/or other details on the ticket for a period of seven consecutive days inclusive of date of issue and including Sundays. For example, a Weekly Ticket issued on Tuesday is valid up to and including the following Monday. When a public holiday falls within the period of validity of a 10-journey ticket, the expiry date is automatically extended by one day without endorsement of ticket.

Now please explain me (and I'm asking only for people who are using bus eirann from one big distance to another) how you are buing tickets? what kind of type? is the weekly 10 journey tickets? Im asking because I wanna move out from Dublin to Kells (but my mom has a job in Dublin) so just curious how much I have to spend for tickets? maybe is there other type of tickets for employers only? ?

Thank you

Victor

Note that you can buy your ticket on Leap Card using the weekly cap. However, in some cases, pricing is slightly different between the weekly cap and the 10-journey ticket.
