Galway Bus TicketingYou can purchase your ticket for inter-city travel from the driver on board the bus, but for a cheaper fare use a Leap Card. Touch your Leap Card onto the device located beside the driver and tell them where you wish to go.
The Leap Card can be used for rail travel between stations within the 'Short Hop Zone'. This Zone includes all stations in the Dublin area from Kilcoole to Balbriggan and Commuter Stations from Dublin City Centre to Kilcock and from Dublin Heuston to Sallins and Naas. The Leap Card also works in the Cork Commuter area.

A TFI Leap Card is a prepaid travel card that is the easiest way to pay your fare on public transport around Ireland. It is valid on busses, trains, DARTs and Luas trams in and around Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Sligo, Athlone, Kilkenny and Wexford city and town services throughout Ireland.
TFI Leap Card FaresThe correct fare will be deducted for your journey. You will hear a tone when you have successfully touched on. Do not touch off when using the bus.
Click the app and simply hold your Leap Card to the back of your NFC-enabled Android smartphone to instantly check your balance, purchase or collect a pre-paid ticket, or top-up your Leap Card – anytime, anywhere.
The Leap Card also works in the Cork Commuter area. Usage outside of the Short Hop Zone and Cork commuter Rail services will result in a Fixed Payment Notice of €100 plus the relevant unpaid fare.
Simply log-in to your online account, select the 'Refund or Replace' option and follow the process. If your card is lost or stolen and has not been registered, you cannot apply for a replacement/refund.
On Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland, touch the card against the Leap Card Validator on the right-hand side as you enter the bus. On Luas (tram), Touch On at a Validator on the platform before you get on the tram and Touch Off when you get off the tram.
