How can we help?

The system adds up how much travel credit you have used on the applicable services you have travelled on for a given day or week and then it stops taking any more fares once the applicable Cap value is reached.

For more information, go to Leap Card Capping.

A Daily Cap runs from the first service of the day to the last service in that same day.

A Weekly Cap (Mon-Sun) runs from the first service on a Monday to the last service on a Sunday.

There are a number of benefits as follows;

• Leap Card will be protected against loss or theft (as long as you report it missing/stolen)
• You won't need to complete an online form for every online Top-Up
• You can view your card history and usage
• You can manage additional Leap Cards through your account (eg child's Leap Card)

If you have any queries or concerns then you can contact Leap customer care on 1850 824 824 and the team will investigate and liaise with you directly.
