Adults:
- City fares increase by 10c to €1.80.

Weekly tickets:
- Adult - increase by €1 to €19
- Student - increase by €1 to €17.30
- Child - increase by 40c to €7.70
Monthly ticket price increases were announced earlier.
DayPasses are not subsidised, so their pricing is not approved by the National Transport Authority. They are likely to increase - the amount is to be advised.
The Galway City Bus Fares page will be updated with this information shortly
Bus Éireann regional and commuter buses
Fares on these services are also increasing: the amount depends on the distance travelled, but is approximately 6%.
