How can we help?

No, you can continue to use your existing card until its expiry date and you will get the best fare. Student Leap Card fares are the same as Young Adult 19-23 Leap Card fares.
 

If you don’t have the documents present at the time of application we recommend you wait until you can provide a copy before completing the application. If you don’t have any of the documents at all, there is an option of uploading non-standard documents for verification. This process can take up to 3 weeks, may require face-to-face verification and does not guarantee final application approval.
 

You can apply for a personalised card up to 2 weeks before your birthday, i.e. 19 yr – 2weeks for a Young Adult (19-23). Your card will expire on your birthday, i.e. your 24^th birthday for a Young Adult (19-23). For a Student (24 yr +), customers need to be in full-time education
 

Young Adult and Student Leap single fares are up to 50% cheaper than Adult Leap fares. This is on top of the 20% reduction that adults are receiving.
 

All TFI Leap enabled routes get Leap discounts when using a TFI Leap Card.
 

The Young Adult card (19-23) eligibility is defined by age, so all customers in that age bracket are eligible regardless of educational status.
 

Student eligibility, i.e. full-time status, needs to be verified in person at Student Leap Agent
 

Student Cards are only applicable to people who are 24 years old and over. 18 year olds are eligible for a Child Card (16-18) until their 19^th birthday. Then, when they’re turning 19, they will qualify for a Young Adult Card (19-23)
 

If the customer received an email with a ref number they should be able to continue the application with those details.
 

Yes, payments are taken before card verification. The refund is issued automatically if the verification is unsuccessful so the customer doesn’t have to request it.
