That's pretty bad - I thought a journey I take occasionally from Longford to Edgeworthtown was bad at the same price for 13km. Fares for short hops between towns in rural areas are absurd to the point of being prohibitive or making people chance their arm and dodging. You end up paying close to a tenner for 10 minutes each way on the train.
That Oranmore one-way fare can't be that much less than a taxi.
