    Am I right in believing there isn’t a family day bus pass on Dublin Bus? Surely not.

    No get your children child leap cards which are capped at €2.70 a day and an for yourself get an adult leap card which is capped at €7 a day.

    For 2 adults and a 2 children it would cost you less than €20 a day but bear in mind that you must top up a leap card by €5 or more.

    Tvm and when you buy the leap card can you register online and see journeys/ balance etc ??

    Yes you can. You can also download the Leap Card app.

    You can buy Leap cards at any Train/Dart/Luas ticket machine, in most Spar or Centra type shops and online.

    You have to tag on 4 cards for that every time.

    You could get a family rambler on a leap card. But it only works with Dublin bus. Or has that changed?

    For 2016 they brought out a 1 day ticket that would work across Luas, Irish Rail and Dublin Bus. In the end they couldn't even give them away.

    I knew it was only for Dublin Bus. My question was meant to be regarding if it was still available.
