AIDEEN SHEEHAN CONSUMER CORRESPONDENT – 27 DECEMBER 2013
THE number of commuters using Dublin's integrated ticket for public transport -- known as a Leap card -- has doubled in the last year.
However, thousands of passengers are still being overcharged by the system -- which is set to be rolled out in Cork city in the coming months.
Figures obtained by the Irish Independent show that more than 6,000 people obtained refunds in the first 11 months of the year because they were overcharged.
Nearly 600 passengers a month sought money back this year, mainly because of faults on Irish Rail ticket validators.
