    I thought the fares would have been the same as before as bus Éireann.

    Leap adult single to Naas from town
    Bus Eireann €5:39
    Go Ahead €3:85

    Fares should be the same. Maybe the driver made a mistake?

    No the NTA won't allow it and even if they were it wouldn't be worth their while if they were allowed.

    details here

    https://www.goaheadireland.ie/dublin-commuter-timetables-fare-information


    there is a link to the fare chart also

    3.85 equates to a 19-20 stage fare

    5.39 is 27-30 stages


    so looks like an error


    not sure what would have happened if it was inspected

    So the Go-Ahead 120 service starts on the 19th of Janurary now. Got a quick look inside the 130 bus while waiting for a bus at Connoly station and it looked very modern.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Haven’t any complaints since the first day hiccups. Much more frequent service than Bus Eireann

    So I have herd complaints about the new 120 Go-Ahead bus service. There has been some buses that did not turn up and one I was waiting for was 30 minutes late. Also the timetable is not very clear. What it says at the stop is different to what is on the online timetable for some stops. The buses only going two thirds of the way instead of the whole journey is another really annoying thing and needs to be fixed.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Any recent update on the 126? How is it of late going from Dublin city to Naas? I'm looking to get off at Toughers estate. Do any other routes service this commute?

    From looking at the Go-Ahead twitter the past few weeks, it seems that a *lot* of commuter services, mainly on the 120/126, are being cancelled daily due to "operational issues". Would anyone know what the issue is? I'm guessing that they are having issues with drivers currently

    A lot of drivers out with Covid and on annual leave.
