Summary
Dublin City Council is rallying against a proposed 15% public transport fare hike set for January, calling it unfair and counterproductive amid soaring living costs. Councillors argue the increase undermines efforts to reduce car use and emissions, warning it may push people back into traffic. The NTA faces scrutiny before the Oireachtas Transport Committee next week, while the council plans to send a formal letter to ministers demanding the hike be scrapped — a symbolic but crucial first step in a broader campaign. Other Dublin councils are expected to join the push, building collective pressure to reverse the decision and make public transport affordable again.
