Sadly, this story is from Ireland not the rest of the British Isles - see (here) (https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40868732.html)

Public transport fares have been reduced by 20% until the end of the year.

From Monday, the reduction applies to Dublin Bus, Luas, Go-Ahead Ireland, Iarnród Éireann and Dart services.

It means that Transport For Ireland’s 90-minute fare introduced last year will fall from €2.30 to €2 for adults, and from 80c to 65c for children.

Iarnrod Eireann’s online fares were reduced last month, while prices on Bus Éireann and Local Link services were also reduced by 20% from the start of April.

Rather a contrast to the UK where fares are ever increasing, and often for a worse service.

The recent elections in NORTHERN Ireland showed increased support for leaving the UK and becoming part of a united Ireland.
This sort of thing will add to the views that the grass really IS greener on the other side of the border.
