On an annual ticket, you are already travelling at a substantial discount - that's the deal. If you are on taxsaver as well, especially on high rate, then the price is very low. Approx €1100 for Portarlington to Heuston, assuming 47 five day weeks, works out at around 6c/mile - and at peak times, with free travel at weekends and Bank Holidays thrown in.
