Currently someone travelling from Sallins and Naas can avail of the short hop zone.
Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O'Loughlin will today meet with Anne Graham NTA CEO and Tim Gaston, Director of Public Transport Services, where she will urge them to extend the short hop travel zone as far as Newbridge in order to lower the cost for public transport users in the town.
The Kildare Senator commented: "Currently someone travelling from Sallins and Naas can avail of the short hop zone yet those travelling from Newbridge cannot.
“Travelling from Newbridge to Dublin will cost a passenger €8.45 compared to only €3.90 from Sallins & Naas.
“This price discrepancy for a 7-minute train journey isn’t acceptable and commuters in Newbridge and surrounding areas deserve better.
"I will urge them to extend the short hop travel zone for public transport to include Newbridge.
" With the current cost of living pressures, this small change would ease the cost of travel for commuters around Kildare," she concluded.
