Integrated Ticketing Scheme - Help test the new Leap Card! by Corporate Communications

Integrated Ticketing is entering the final phase of testing over the coming weeks. The scheme will use smart card technology to allow customers to pay for travel on Dublin Bus, Luas, DART and Commuter Rail (in the short hop zone).

The National Transport Authority will be calling for 500 customers, aged 16+, to assist in the final testing phase of the new scheme.

If you are interesting in participating in this testing phase please see www.integratedticketing.ie where a short questionnaire will be available for you to apply to take part. The questionnaire will open for applications from Friday 18th November.

If your application is successful you will receive a Leap Card Topped Up with €20 Travel Credit. Then you can use the card instead of buying single/return tickets for your normal travel.

In line with international best practice for introducing smartcard technology, Leap Card is being rolled out on a gradual basis and this testing phase is the final stage in advance of the introduction of the card to the market.
