    I'm going to be moving to Clongriffin and commuting to Grand Canal Dock 7 days a week. However, I'll also be using the luas a few times a week and also the bus 2x a week.

    I don't qualify for a tax-saver ticket but I'm looking at weekly /monthly tickets.

    What do you recommend?

    40 euro a week with Leap card might be be the best option, if you use Dart, Bus and Luas.

    Your options are:

    LEAP Card Epurse - Weekly Capping - EUR 40

    Period Passes:
    Monthly Bus/LUAS/Rail - EUR 218
    Annual Bus/LUAS/Rail - EUR 2,180

    Therefore the LEAP capping is the best option - load it up with €40 each week.

    However, look at www.taxsaver.ie - if your employer takes part, you can reduce the cost by up to 50%. This only applies to monthly and annual tickets.

    The OP has already said that taxsaver is not an option.

    I can't get it through my employer but thanks for your reply! I think the capping will be helpful, I'll go for that!
