Is it just me or are the time stamp for Irishrail and Luas tags generally an hour out when you check your account? Dublin bus ones seem to be right

Its an issue with the LEAP back office, the time on the card is always consistent when you check at a luas TVM

Has there been a timetable or any indication of when the next phase is going live? Are we going to see fare capping anytime soon?

A meeting is planned in a few weeks time and we will know better then.

We have been looking for a timetable.

Why don't Dublin Bus have a fixed fare for Leap Card? In London there's a fixed fare of £2.30 for cash or £1.35 for Oyster. The cash fare is outrageous if you were only going a couple of stops, but you tend not to think about it when using Oyster.

A fixed fare would save drivers having to key fares, speeding up entry. How about €1.50 for Leap, €2 for cash?

Because many people would end up paying more which would be difficult to sell in the current environment.

But yes, operationally there would be a lot of sense in it.
