    You are mixing things up again. The personalised card can be used to purchase extra tickets that are printed out by the driver.

    No, you are mixing things up. She asked if her son's leap card could be passed on to somebody else for their own use; I answered her query.

    Ok, just to clarify it's not a personalised leap card. It's a regular child leap card

    Surly you cant buy a load of tickets from one card? It would hit the daily limit after 5 people and you could get the rest of the bus on with out paying anymore?


    If a revenue person got on and checked the leap card would they only see one journey or ticket? Would they be able to see the two tickets that were bought if not you would be fined even though you bought two tickets.

    Extra tickets don't count towards the cap and are printed on paper from the drivers machine. Only uses the leap to pay.

    It doesn't matter. They still both can't use it at the same time.

    Tagging on or using the card reader on the bus you can only use either card(personalised or normal) for one passenger!

    Using the drivers leap card reader with either card you can pay for as many other tickets as you want to for other passengers as long as you have enough credit on your card, These extra printed tickets do not count for your daily/weekly cap or any other ticket loaded on the card.

    Is the plan in the future to had contactless card payment via debit & credit cards to buy tickets?
