Now, i'm not voting for fare evasion, but surely things would be alot simpler if a straightforward fare system were put in place. Are stages not 'old fashioned' in this day and age, as routes get longer, and more complex as they duck and dive through all the new estates on the outskirts of Dublin??

Two fares - 1euro and 2 euro, the latter applying once you cross a defined boundry. Oh, and some form of integrated ticketing would help ............ but that just seems to be a pipedreaam!!!
