I've only heard from one source that early next year there could be train fares going up. It seems like this always happens either on 1st January of each year or some times 1st of July but usually - it is seasonal pending Governments decision.
Individually, we may feel sad when we hear of fares increasing as this represents another cost of living rising, which may leave some thinking twice of commuting on public transport.
The 1st of January is the day after the night before of celebrating a start to a new year, some people are celebrating ( or in some cases still celebrating the last years events and the oncoming expectations of the year ahead.So this is why it is apparently a good time in the year to do the fare increase, leaving most commuters stunned: small complaints come through or if there is a State election around the corner then those that want to voice an opion will show their feeling when they vote with their hearts!
I fully understand transport costs do increase and this then has a domino affect, reaching the consumer - it has to be reasonable and just and advertising well in advance these cost increases, so by the time it is introduced we are well accustomed and have little or no say in it!
After train costs go up then follows bus costs!!!!
