Translink Announces Fare Increases Across All Services
Translink fares across all services will increase by an average of 7% from Monday 06 March.
The changes, which affect travel on Metro, Glider, NI Railways, Enterprise, Goldliner and Ulsterbus services.
The fare increase comes after the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris, said that steps would need to be taken to improve Translink's sustainability through the uprating of public transport fares.
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has said that while it fully recognises the challenges facing many people in the current cost of living crisis, significant budget pressures mean the below inflation uplift is needed to maintain and improve public transport services.
The DfI said: "Translink will continue to offer a range of good value fares and we would encourage users of public transport to look for the best value options available. We would also continue to encourage people to reduce carbon emissions by walking, wheeling or cycling or using public transport, rather than private vehicles, to help address the climate emergency."
The best fare deals can be found on online at www.translink.co.uk/faresrevision, by calling the Translink contact centre on 028 90 66 66 30 or by visiting the local bus or train station for advice.
