The figures from the National Transport Authority and Iarnród Eireann show the line between Limerick and Ballybrophy is the most expensive in the country.
It compares to the 90 cent the State and taxpayers contribute for a journey on the DART line in Dublin.
The Transport Minister Shane Ross is to bring a review of rail services to Government later today.
Cabinet will hear that major cuts may be made to the rail network if funding gaps can't be breached.
