You will have to dig deeper for your bus and train fares from this morning.

A range of hikes come into force, with those who pay cash most affected.

Tickets for the three stages on Dublin Bus are up 5 cent, but some longer journeys will be slightly cheaper.

It is a mixed story for Bus Éireann users with many fares going up 5% but some others are falling by the same amount.

Commuter train fares are increasing by between 1.8 and 2.1% for Leap cards and by up to 3.7% for cash fares.

One way intercity express fares will not increase but return fares are up just under 2% on average.
