According to [broken link removed]:I just tried to buy a single ticket to Carrick-On-Shannon today (Friday) and was told it was EUR32 which seemed a lot more than usual. I asked the guy at the counter why this was and he told me that no single tickets can be bought on a Friday, only return tickets. The single ticket costs EUR22.50 and can be bought any other time during the week.
and the [broken link removed] state:Ck-On-Shannon €22.50/€32.00 (Adult single)
So they seem to simply have two different prices for some tickets with the lower price on restricted availability - perhaps based on demand? Surely not the only transport company to have this sort of pricing structure?Lower fares, where quoted, are vaild from Monday to Thursday and Saturday only.
What about possible additional costs such as transport to Dubin airport and from Knock to the final destination?I just checked train prices for travel in Feb from Mayo to Dublin single on a Sat is €30 and to fly from Knock to Dublin same day is €29.99
Ah, sure it's only Luas change we're talking about. [broken link removed]For example it's still €1.25 for a one way single zone trip with the Smartcard compared to €1.40 off peak and €1.50 peak (I think - it may be €1.30 and €1.40 respectively).

This is yet another example of the nonsensical extension of the term "rip-off" to a valid sensible practice which is actually customer friendly. The company wants to ditribute its passenger load and it uses pricing to achieve this. It gives a good deal to customers who are going home on Friday and returning later.
Can you explain what this means please?the OP has merely incorrectly attributed a sensible policy to a deliberate attempt to milk the public
