They travelled the world assessing other countries ways to implement smart cards and come up with Leap. Ridiculous system. London’s Oyster stops charging at the price of a daily travel card; as far as I’m aware Leap keeps taking money for the day regardless of how much. They can take a leap.

Still rubbish even after 12 years planning and rolling it out!!

If you are using 3 modes of transport you shouldn’t have to tag on/off 3 times and pay 3 separate fares. Tag on/off once, base price on time/distance.

This system is a total joke. I topped my card up with 50 euro at a suburban train station last week using my laser card. The machine cancelled the transaction. I thought nothing of it and checked my account, the 50 euro was in my pending transactions. It took me 3 hours on the phone to bank and Irish Rail to get it sorted. The transaction had to be cancelled manually on Irish Rail’s side. I found them really difficult to deal with and I was hung up on twice!!

Still isn’t the integrated ticketing that was announced over a decade ago.

Leap is daft! I use my oyster card all the time when in London and there is just no comparing the two! The only thing leap is good for is not having to carry change for buses! I really really hope it develops sooner rather then later!

I just got the Leap Card and cannot believe you can’t top up on line. Ridiculous.

It’s a shambles the way you can’t top up online ..joke !

Crazy the way every Bus journey still involves needing to go into the city center first. Not exactly a “Short Hop’, more like Two Long Hops and Double Fares.

so what? the worst ‘ticket solution’ in the world. I only have to travel for 20 min but need to change 2 buses so I pay twice.

Designed by public servants for semi state….nuff said.

Once again the Leap Card…. An Irish solution to an Irish problem!!! :(

That was implemented last week, surely?
