TOLL FARES, TRAIN tickets and household taxes – all things that have become more expensive since 31 December.
But fear not, Business Insider has done some research and there will be plenty of things getting cheaper this year.
It may be a particularly good 12 months if you love gadgets, alcoholic beverages and going on holiday.

It isn’t job creation it is job displacement with less regulation. Along with readily available tax avoidance
Bingo. Hailo works for everyone. Über works for Über.
So Uber want to creat 50000 jobs if cities play ball.
In other words if the city councils do away with rules and regulations and let Uber do what they like.
Another case of big business calling the shots .
No thanks
I wouldn’t use an Uber car. It’s an unregulated taxi services that can charge what it likes at peak times. Dodgy.
Uber wants it all.. 50000 k jobs earning crap pay ..
Creation of jobs is great.
uber seem like they are aggressive and
not your usual app based company and i
think they will fall as quick as they rise.
It’s interesting how little traction Uber has in Ireland. Just goes to show the benefits of deregulation.
You have to go through the taxi companies here, so its not the real model. It’s unbelievable that taxi companies here would worry about the safety of passengers if Uber was opened up properly. There are some beauties driving taxi’s around Dublin.
Uber should be shut down unlicensed drivers is a disaster waiting to happen !
It has basically failed in Dublin too as it had to resort to using taxis to operate it’s service..
Have used Uber’s standard service here too. It basically operates here as a hackney service, operated on your phone with some added value, and it’s fine.
The Uber Black type service with random driver pick-up thing is the issue and to be honesty I see the challenges. I don’t think I’d use it.
I tend to try and avoid taxis like the plague… I’m sure as hell not going to pay over the odds for one … I can’t see Uber picking up much traction here.
Uber app needs access to your photos and camera..taxi..!
Use uber in the US regularly. Fantastic service and so cheap.
How many days left till their bubble bursts? 34.5bn ??
The ubers can’t use bus lanes
