Has there been a timetable or any indication of when the next phase is going live? Are we going to see fare capping anytime soon?

A meeting is planned in a few weeks time and we will know better then.

We have been looking for a timetable.

Why don't Dublin Bus have a fixed fare for Leap Card? In London there's a fixed fare of £2.30 for cash or £1.35 for Oyster. The cash fare is outrageous if you were only going a couple of stops, but you tend not to think about it when using Oyster.

A fixed fare would save drivers having to key fares, speeding up entry. How about €1.50 for Leap, €2 for cash?

Because many people would end up paying more which would be difficult to sell in the current environment.

But yes, operationally there would be a lot of sense in it.

Anything that increased fares would get slapped all over every tabloid in the country for weeks, and Indakinny has more pressing fires to put out.
