Short Hop Zone & Leap Cards

The extension of the Short Hop Zone and Leap Card facilities to Drogheda would be highly beneficial to commuters. An Adult Day Return rail ticket from Dublin Connolly to Drogheda costs €24.35 for a paper ticket. Whereas one can purchase the same ticket on a Leap card with Matthews Coaches for €15. If tickets were paperless and cheaper, there would be more commuters using rail travel.
