    I'm based in Limerick and I got a leap card recently and I'm wondering is it only single tickets I can buy with it on the bus eireann city buses or can I also buy day savers with the leap card?

    Can I register my Leap card?

    Yes, you can register your Leap Card at www.leapcard.ie

    Registering your Leap Card means no one can use your card's Travel Credit once you've reported it lost or stolen. You will also be able to view your card history and buy Travel Credit at www.leapcard.ie. If you already have your card, visit www.leapcard.ie to register it. You can register more than one Leap Card to the same account to save you the hassle of having multiple accounts.


    How do I use my Leap Card?

    Hold your card against a validator to 'Touch On'. Validators are located:

    * Bus Éireann - Touch On only at the driver's cab. If you're using Travel Credit, the driver will deduct the fare; if you're using a preloaded ticket, the card will simply validate.
    * Dublin Bus - Touch On only at the entrance to the bus on the right hand side, and at the driver's cab.
    * Do not Touch Off when using Bus services as this will mean you will be double-charged.
    * Luas - Touch On and Touch Off on the platform.
    * DART and Commuter Rail - Touch On and Touch Off at entry and exit points of stations, and on some platforms.
