The Leap Card Thread

Any update on the Dublin Bus cap or tickets? Seen this Monday Leap is now functional on Bus Éireann throughout the great Dublin area.

We are going to be meeting the NTA Leap Card team, so hopefully we will find out then.

What points would people like brought up? (We have a list already)

Some good news

All leap card support is now handled by Leap, so no more being passed around between Irish Rail and Leap

A rough timetable for any sort of developments would be great. Also is there a possibility of mobile version of the site. It really needs to happen since they are not keen on developing an app. Good to hear customer support is being dealt with by Leap themselves!

Dublin Bus capping will happen 'soon'.

Unlikely, the only real advantage would be checking your transaction history - you couldn't even be able to check your balance with certainty. As mobile phone technology improves, it might be looked at.

Is there any particular feature you would like?

Really been waiting for the Dublin Bus capping feature or even a product ticket.

Since I do not have access to auto top up right now I frequently run into a negative balance and may end up not needing to use the Leap card for several days. I'd like to check on the go do I need to top up before I start a journey (I guess this is only relevant towards the bus).

I guess I'd like them to merge the Transport for Ireland site with the Leap site and offer some mobile version with relevant info such as fares, products, timetables and access to your Leap A/C something like what is offered in London.

Price increases on Cork-Cobh/Midleton were only approved by the NTA subject to LEAP being rolled out by August 2014, so I guess that gives a timeline.

That would mean that Cork-Mallow and the privately run 210A bus service would be the only commuter services in Cork not covered by LEAP by this time next year.
