JosDel · 2017-09-13 12:44:56

Hi A quick question I noticed i'm charged €2.05 9-13 stages on the normal leap on Dublin Bus, My son is charged the same on his student leap for the same journey, I would have though being a student he would have saved more money?

Savings come in on the weekly cap. It's €40 a week (for all modes of transport) for adults and €30 for students.

Lower caps apply if you just use one service or daily caps apply too.

The fares are the same, but the daily/weekly caps are lower
