Family ticket Sixmilebridge - Dublin

Why is the single/ day return from Sixmilebridge to Ennis/Limerick 7 and 11 euros respectively? It's only 15 mins on the train to Limerick. Do people on the Cork-Cobh line pay similiar fares on that route for a 15 mins journey into town?

Its classified as a regional service and is charged accordingly

The fares are in line with and generally less than point to point fares outside the commuter areas for similar distances

Is that an arbitrary designation as regional or does it conform to a service level above which it becomes commuter?

Got the train in to Limerick at 16.06 yesterday. About 50 people on it. About 8 got off in Sixmilebridge and 4 got on. Too pricey though @ €7, although its a superb service 20 minutes to middle of town.

Limerick Ennis does well since the frequency is good and it is as quick if not quicker than the bus

It shows and vindicates the view that commuter distances are where the business is, now yesterday with the rugby in Limerick might distort the numbers a little
