Top tips

Save money with the Visitor Leap Card, a discount card for Airlink airport shuttle, Dublin Bus, Luas, DART, and Commuter Rail. Mobile: Leap Top-Up App (Android only).

Exact fare is recommended for Dublin Bus services, due to its operation as an exact fare system. This means that if you’re owed change, you will be issued a passenger refund ticket. This ticket can be then exchanged, at the Dublin Bus office in O’Connell Street, for the money you are due.
