The Luas rules are appropriate and proportional
As with any transport system there is an obligation to have the correct ticket. There is extensive information at each stop including a full map, timetable and fare details. The RPA have satisfied the basic requirement to be clear and consistent in its information and application of rules.
Rail Users Ireland does not condone fare evasion in any form. These revised rules close a grey area used by some to dodge a fine.
The rules clearly state you can stand at a Luas stop without a ticket, it is only if you have been seen disembarking the tram can you be stopped.
The contract specifically states that you agree to abide by the bye laws and all other relevant legislation while you are in the process of traveling with the RPA
