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 19th birthday. Then, when they’re turning 19, they will qualify for a Young Adult Card (19-23)

Caps are being discounted by 20% on average from the 9th May. A new capping band for Young Adult/Students will be introduced on that day which is 50% less than adult.

These percentage discounts tend not to be a direct reduction in the price of an individual Fare or Ticket, but the averaged reduction over all for all Fares/Tickets.
All fares will be reduced by the closest % to 20% giving a multiple of 5 amount, so the discount will be between 18% and 22%, i.e. €1.15 reducing to €0.90 (-21.7%) or €0.80 reducing to €0.65 (-18.8%)
 

The 20% discount will be valid from the on all services by 9^th May.
 

It applies to all eligible Transport for Ireland services, including Dublin Bus, Luas, Irish Rail, Local Link and Go Ahead Ireland
