Due to the continued increase in the cost of fuel, fares on Translink bus and rail services will rise by 5% from Monday 25th August 2008.
We have worked very hard to keep fares as low as possible but our fuel bill will be £9million higher this year than last and unfortunately we have no option but to raise fares.
On average Metro will increase by 6.4%, Ulsterbus by 5% and N I Railways by 4.2%.
