    Not quite. RTPI stops already have communications and power.

    While the validator would need to be robust, it would not need to be any more robust than a Luas or Irish Rail validator.

    As robust as the ones at Broombridge that had to be removed due to vandalism?

    People will hardly be topping up for others if they can only use their credit card once every 7 days?

    This totally unnecessary restriction on topping up the leap card only adds to other hassles people are already having with the whole driver interactions on the buses as well as getting the run-around by customer care when they are overcharged etc

    It's how the Luas machine is set. Even if you purchase a return ticket today via credit card, you won't be able to use your credit card again for 7 days. How is it a restriction on Leap?

    If your Leap card is lost or stolen and then used by someone else and triggers an auto top-up etc., can you imagine the pain in the face you'd have. People can't steal your ESB but they can steal your Leap card.

    And my level of trust in Leap isn't up to that of ESB or BGE either.

    Like a credit card there will be time in between that you a) don't know it's missing, or b) don't have internet access to remove it from your account.

    The card can be de-activated.

    1. Cancel card
    2. The topup which was triggered by the thief would by on your account and would move to your new card

    At best you'd loose a couple of euro because the card (under the current T&Cs) will only be topped up once a week. If you don't notice for more than a week, more fool you.


    Anyway, as I said before, someones paranoia about DDs is totally unrelated to Leap - if you
    don't trust them, the card is still fully functional.

    Of course it can once you know it's missing and you get to tell someone about it.
