IE fares cheaper at machine than on website?

Geuze

Galway-Oranmore fares are coded A on the fare matrix.

Taking two fares:

Adult Single GY to Oranmore: website says 6.00, but I paid 4.00 at machine in Ceannt

Adult Weekly: website says 37.15, but I paid 29.00 at machine


I'm curious at to what is happening here?

None of that makes sense

Per the NTA numbers you get
http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_info/fare_calc_2019.php?station_from=GALWY&station_to=OMORE&stage1=Submit

Which matches the website

Any price less is in breach of the PSO contract and requires specific approval from the NTA.

Well I have the ticket in my hand.

Adult Weekly (Season) is the heading, valid from 05.09.2019 to 11.09.2019

Both machines in Oranmore and Ceannt displayed 29.00.


Now, I can tell you that I think they displayed 129.00 for the monthly, which does match the website!!

I checked a machine again today

Weekly = 29, website is 37.15

Monthly = 129, same as the website


Maybe it's just a typo / transcription error.

Its quite a deliberate change, someone has done this.

Just waiting for a local politician to claim it was them
