The fare for the 11km journey from Oranmore to Galway is €6, which seems exceedingly bad value.
Similar distances are:-
- Portmarnock-Connolly (€2.50 Leap/€3.30 Cash)
- Dún Laoghaire-Tara St (€2.50 Leap/€3.30 Cash)
- Clondalkin/Fonthill-Heuston(€2.50 Leap/€3.30 Cash)
- Glounethaune-Cork (€2.34 Leap/€3 Cash).
Athenry-Galway is 25km and €8.20
Similar distances are:-
- Cork-Midleton (€4.50 Leap/€5.90 Cash) - actually 3km shorter but there's no better comparable station around Cork
- Rush & Lusk-Connolly (€3 Leap/€3.85 Cash)
- Greystones-Sydney Parade (€3.72 Leap/€4.75 Cash)
These seem like major discrepancies, even taking the non-availability of Leap into account.
