The cost of commuting to Dublin for locals is set to increase in the New Year with Matthews Coach Hire set to put up the price of their yearly ticket from Dundalk to Parnell Street by 6%.
The increase will see the cost of a yearly ticket rise from €2,258 to €2,394.
One customer contacted Talk of the Town today to complain about the fare going up again but it still represents the best value for commuters with the same Irish Rail commuter ticket costing €3,340.
The latest Matthews increase will cost passengers around €2.60 extra per week or €11.30 per month.
When tax savings are taken into account passengers can make real savings by purchasing an annual ticket.
