Adult

All passengers over the age of 15 who are not eligible for a discounted fare must purchase an Adult Ticket.

Child

Child tickets are valid for children under the age of 16. One child under the age of 4 will be carried free if accompanied by and in the charge of a fare-paying passenger, provided that the child does not occupy a seat to the exclusion of another passenger. Where doubt exists as to the eligibility of a child for a reduced fare, it is the responsibility of the passenger claiming the child fare to produce evidence of age.

Children under 12 years of age will NOT be carried, unless accompanied by a responsible person over the age of 16, on the following categories of Bus Éireann services: All Expressway services - as detailed in Expressway timetable booklet or Non-Expressway services where the intended journey of the child passenger exceeds 50 kilometres.

Student

Student Tickets are issued at discounted fares on production of current International Student Identity Card (ISIC), or a valid Student Identity Card issued by a recognised third-level college in the Republic of Ireland, but otherwise have the same conditions of validity as ordinary Return Tickets. The full list of colleges whose Student Identity Cards will be recognised by Bus Éireann for entitlement to student fares is given in "Your Journey/Student Travel" area of website.
