'Public transport users are being fleeced, to pay for the private transport users to continue to drive their cars at a slightly cheaper rate.' Jason Cullen of Dublin Commuters reacts to the hike in fares for public transport, on The Claire Byrne Show.

@DublinCommuters Classic division tactics. Try to get the public transport users to blame private car users for them being fleeced, by the government.

@DublinCommuters I didnt notice my driving costs being subsidised. Is there a form I can fill in to claim some of this money?

@DublinCommuters This is dumb Public transport operates at a loss Operational costs for 2024/25 for 1.1 billion It only collected 511 million in fares How are they paying for private car users when they're not even paying for themselves? It's actually more likely that car users pay for them

@DublinCommuters

@DublinCommuters The free travel passes the IPAS illegals have have to be paid for somehow. #HowIrelandWorks

@DublinCommuters Ha, what? So the increase has nothing to do with providing free travel passes to those newly arrived in the parish, or the government private jet, or the €125 million given to Ukraine recently. It's the taxpayers who require a car for work to pay taxes.

@DublinCommuters @NewstalkFM totally misinformation being spread by Claire Byrne and her guest linking bus fair increases on fuel cuts. She was told on Monday the gov are taking in more € now on fuel taxes than they did before the war shocking stuff form newstalk and Claire

@DublinCommuters It's okay immigrants get free bus pass , Irish can walk

@DublinCommuters No immigrant ever pays. They get on the south circular rd. All free travel passes.

@DublinCommuters No they are being fleeced in order: - to pay for the IPAS centres - to pay for the cash payments to asylum seekers - to pay for social welfare for non citizens - to pay for social housing for non citizens - to pay HAP to non citizens - to pay to educate non citizens

@DublinCommuters And we’re meant to take him seriously 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@DublinCommuters This is the stupidest post I've seen in a while. Car drivers have no choice because public transport is rubbish and the infrastructure is a joke. Please slap the writer.

@DublinCommuters FFS that's absolute bollox. The tax payer subsidise public transport. They don't subsidise private transport costs.

@DublinCommuters Literally the opposite is happening

@DublinCommuters Jason's a bit slow, isn't he?

@DublinCommuters Why are you platforming disinformation? Public transport in Ireland operates at a substantial commercial loss, with ticket sales covering only approximately 38% of operating costs. While motorists provide roughly €6.2 billion annually to the Irish Exchequer.

@DublinCommuters How is this nonsense allowed on the air

@DublinCommuters Poor baby it’s nothing to do with fuel prices what a pathetic little man..

@DublinCommuters What exactly does all the tax we pay get us? If they want us to go green, make them fooking free!!!!!

@DublinCommuters How the fuck did so many half IQs get hold the microphone, so regularly?

@DublinCommuters When in truth private car owners are being fleeced to pay for everything & everyone!

@DublinCommuters Nothing got to do with the amount of free passes getting handed out like snuff at a wake 🙄🤨

@DublinCommuters Retarded

@DublinCommuters Im being fleeced as a public transport user who owns a car, like most.

@DublinCommuters Seven billion euro a year on 34,000+ NGOs Billions on asylum scammers. Tens of millions on Zelensky. The bones of a billion into RTE. Irish government to Irish people: “go fuck yourselves”.

@DublinCommuters Jason Cullen supporting the theft of Irish peoples pay, in Carbon taxes. What a slow, selfish, and idiotic thing to say. Pathetic individual.

@DublinCommuters Why are you giving airtime to all those nobody's???

@DublinCommuters Jesus this is such fucking nonsense. Irish public transport is massively subsidised. The taxpayer provides about 58% of operating costs. 2 euro subsidy per journey. Which is a good thing. People in Ireland used to be able to understand facts. What the fuck happened?

@DublinCommuters Do they actually seek the most stupid people they can find for these segments or what?

@DublinCommuters let’s say everyone stops driving their private cars - now just think how much money the government loses in tax - now just think what to government will do to recovered that lost taxation

@DublinCommuters Deflection.

@DublinCommuters He's not the problem, its the clown who suggested it was a good idea to have him on the show.

@DublinCommuters Where do i go to pick up these subsidies? Typical nonsense from a few wanna be musicians dole bums and hippies

@DublinCommuters

@DublinCommuters How much are they paying you Claire.
