Anybody remember the previous fare charge ?
« on: January 02, 2023, 08:10:04 am »
Does anyone have an old fare card (pre Sept 2022) or remember what we charged back then ?

The new fare is 1.30 by day and 1.71 by night.

I just want to work out what the average 12% 'WEIGHTED' fare increase means to day and night drivers.

Given that the old basic day time rate was €1.14 per km and increased by .16c to €1.30, that is a 14.04% increase in the day time driving rate.

Given that the old basic night time rate was €1.45 per km and increased by .26c to €1.71, that is a 17.93% increase in the night time driving rate.

Given that the old day time initial/starting charge was €3.80 and increased by .40c to €4.20, that is a 10.53% increase.

Given that the old night time initial/starting charge was €4.20 and increased by .60c to €4.80, that is a 14.29% increase.

Dunno but maybe look at old NTA newsletters under 'Trade Publications' on this site. Info might be there?
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.
