Big Leap for city transport as cards hit Cork

Leap cards, which allow users to bulk buy public transport at a 16% discount, are now available outside Dublin.

Integrated ticketing — similar to the Oyster card system in London — has been in place in Dublin for about 18 months.

Now, commuters who regularly take buses in Cork city and its outskirts, can purchase Leap smart cards at a variety of outlets and top them up when required.
