What is a Leap Card?
A Leap Card is a reusable plastic smart card that can be used instead of paying with cash when travelling on all Dublin Bus services, including Xpresso and Nitelink, as well as Luas, DART and Commuter Rail services. Leap Cards can be bought online at www.leapcard.ie or at over 400 Payzone outlets around the City. 

What is Travel Credit?
Travel Credit works in a similar way to mobile phone credit. It is a cash value which you load onto the card and every time you use the card to travel, the cost of the journey is deducted. You can top-up your card online, at Leap Card Agents and at Luas and Irish Rail ticket machines.

What is Leap Card fare capping?
Fare Capping is really easy. The Leap Card system caps the use of Travel Credit, so once you have taken trips using your Travel Credit that add up to the equivalent of the daily or weekly cap value, you can continue to travel as normal, but no further Travel Credit will be taken from your card.

The weekly cap is measured on a calendar week, starting on Monday and finishing on Sunday. 

There is also a multi-operator cap if you are travelling on Dublin Bus, Luas and DART and Commuter Rail. The daily cap is €8.00 and the weekly cap is €32.00.

When the cap is reached you should continue to touch on as normal to have a valid ticket.

Any fares paid on Tours do not count towards the cap. Any fares paid for a travelling companion do not count towards the cap.

A Rambler ticket will suit you if you take at least 2 buses a day on the days you use the bus.

Ticket Type

• Valid for 5 or 30 days of unlimited travel for consecutive or non-consecutive days of travel.

• Rambler tickets can be bought and loaded on to a Leap Card here or at any Payzone outlet.

• If you are using your rambler ticket for the first time after 8pm the ticket machine will deduct travel credit from your card as you would not be getting the value of a full day on your rambler ticket.
