    They are 5% cheaper if booked online.

    Do you need to print them off or can you use an app?

    You can show the driver the e-mail containing your ticket details.

    The loyalty scheme also gives 10% back of what you paid as points, which can be redeemed against a future ticket.

    It should be, just go to the website, select your origin/destination, and see.

    On there at the moment. When I put in Busaras I can book it online but when I put in Red Cow/Newlands Cross I can't.

    Looking at an early morning bus to Carlow IT on a saturday. I doubt it'd be full but just wanna make sure I can get there

    I had a look there, it might be something to do with them both being listed as pick-up only on the timetable. Best bet is to give Bus Éireann an email, and check if a ticket from Busáras would work.

    Yeah I'll be in town during the week. I'll pop in to the information desk to see what the best thing to do is. Cheers

    Red Cow/Newlands Cross do not have a separate stage on Express routes, a Dublin ticket is the correct one.
