TOPPING UP LEAP CARD E-PURSE

The LEAP card e-purse can be topped up a number of different ways:

• At one of over 400 Payzone LEAP card agents around Dublin and also in Cork
• At any LUAS ticket machine
• At any Irish Rail ticket machine in the Short Hop Zone
• Online at www.leapcard.ie - Note that this option requires you to subsequently visit your nominated "load location" to physically load the top-up amount onto the card
• Via Auto top-up - this is the easiest way of topping up the card. It automatically tops up your Leap Card with funds from your bank account, whenever your Travel Credit balance falls below €10. You can choose to Auto Top-Up by €30.00, €40.00 or €50.00. Note that this requires your card to be registered on the LEAP website and a direct debit to be set up.

=============================================================================== ==========================

PERIOD PASSES:
The following unlimited travel period passes / tickets can be loaded onto a LEAP card, either online (requires you to then visit a payzone outlet) or at a payzone outlet directly:

Dublin Bus:

Rambler 5 Day Adult - Tag on only via Validator on righthand side

Rambler 30 Day Adult - Tag on only via Validator on righthand side

Note that where you have more than one product loaded onto the card, you can ask the driver to select which product you wish to use by putting the card on his ticket machine. If you have two versions of the same product (e.g. 2 x 30 Day Rambler tickets), the righthand validator will automatically select the older product.

hmmm

I have a bus-only taxsaver ticket stored on my LEAP, along with a cash balance. Unfortunately the LUAS reader does not seem to recognise the cash balance and instead tells me to buy a ticket. Is that by design?

goingnowhere

That should work, the entire design is based on using a stored ticket first and cash second.

Sounds like an issue with the cards activation, was it topped up in a shop, or at a ticket machine?

Have you checked the balance online by logging into your account at www.leapcard.ie?

Is the T90 on leap yet or is that still in paper form?

The schoolchild T90 has moved to Leap and is no longer available on paper, the adult ticket is still paper only.

Over the coming months, Dublin Bus is simplifying its range of ticket options for customers. Some prepaid tickets will be withdrawn from sale and others will start to move to Leap Card. Please see below for implementation dates.

Friday 7th March

1 Day Rambler Adult and 10 Journey Travel 90 Schoolchild tickets were withdrawn and are no longer available to purchase.

For goodness sakes look at the list I prepared. Any ticket that you can buy on Leap is there. Suggesting other tickets are available is not helpful and is just causing confusion.

That is the full list of products available on LEAP at the moment.

Dublin Bus/Irish Rail (Short Hop Zone):

Annual Dublin Bus/Irish Rail Short Hop ticket (requires personalised LEAP card) - Tag on only on Dublin Bus, tag on/tag off on Irish Rail

I don't think this is presently available. My annual DB/IR taxsaver ticket was issued last month on separate tickets instead of a LEAP card.

They were issued as a LEAP product at the start of the year - not sure why you didn't get one.


Perhaps there have been issues since.

I suspect this centre's on that product reading as "Unknown" when scanned.
It is continuing to cause difficulties for those who have not exchanged the originals.

"Unknown" is a validator issue. Its not recognising what the ticket on the card is. Id be surpirsed if it was still an issue. Must be a validator that was out of service or never updated.

Thank you Dravokivitch,Yep,still an issue,but on a far lesser scale...however the larger problem was that nobody knew a thing about it for a few days until Driver/Customer exchanges flagged it....;)

Interesting to hear the Validator explaination...I refered a customer back to Leapcard with the problem a while back and she later told me her card was replaced,which seemed to cure the issue for her ?

Does anyone know if they have stopped issuing DB/Irish rail combined tickets as leap cards? Would seem a big step backwards. My annual ticket expires end of June and if it is replaced with two tickets I will crack up!

The "Unknown" message only comes up when the validator doesn't have a listing for the ticket on the card, similar to the way the fares are on your ticket machines. So a new Leap Card can't sort that out.

Monthly taxsaver Dublin Bus and Dublin Bus & LUAS tickets are now available on LEAP. The following was circulated in work this morning:

Taxsaver monthly Bus only and Bus & Luas ticketing moved to Personalised Leap Card from May 2014. In future your colleagues will retain their Personalised Leap Card and collect subsequent tickets at their local Payzone – Leap Card outlet; a listing is available at www.payzone.ie.

From Tuesday 27th May the June ticket will be available for collection. To collect your ticket, simply ask your local Payzone – Leap Card agent to place your card on the Payzone reader terminal for a couple of seconds. To ensure the ticket is collected, the Payzone agent should check your Travel Credit balance; the balance will show as nil. The ticket will be loaded electronically on to your Leap Card when the balance is being checked.

Please circulate this message to your colleagues to ensure they collect the June ticket before they board a bus or Luas before Sunday 1st.

The tickets will be available for collection from the 27th of each subsequent month. Further collection points will become available shortly, e.g. Luas electronic ticket machines.
