The Leap Card Thread

[Mark Gleeson]

No more 1 day ramblers

Leap will automatically cap Dublin bus at 6.90 per day

The daily cap level is basically 4 times the maximum single fare plus a small amount more.

The huge story here is you do not need to do anything, you will automatically get the capped fare.

We believe a significant portion of commuters still rely on single and return tickets and with the move to leap will get significant savings through capping. Many people refuse to buy 7 days tickets are they don't know their plans for the week, I might get a lift home, might take a day off etc. Leap will deal with that so you always get the best price

Irish Rail and Dublin Bus are terrified as to what is going to happen to their revenue base as capping should reduce the net fare collected, plus the amount they get will be split in a precise way based on exact usage, not the current guesstimate
