    Just boarded the 750 at Dublin Airport, which is my preferred service as it gets me ó dheas without trundling through the city centre forever.

    A single between Dundrum and the airport used to cost €7. Driver just informed me that the new fare as of this morning is €10.

    That’s a whopping 43% increase :eek:. There’s been no announcement, no info on the website. How do Dublin Coach justify a hike of this magnitude and how is this even legal??

    Noticed this route being operated by a small black minibus yesterday. Is that normal now? The numbers on it have never seemed great.

    Honestly what do you expect DC are a joke of an operator. They should be off the road if you ask me.

    I’ve had the questionable pleasure of travelling on one of these myself once or twice. Defo not great for anyone trying to make it to the airport with luggage in tow.

    Much prefer it to the Aircoach though which takes an eternity and is usually laden with tourists who can’t work out where they need to get off.

    NTA have no role in fares for private operators.
