€600,000 credit on unused Leap cards

Unused credit of €600,000 in inactive Leap Card accounts is to be used for initiatives to encourage more use of public transport.

The National Transport Authority confirmed that it intends to use credit deposits and travel balances held in dormant accounts for the benefit of all public transport users. The NTA said it has the necessary legal powers to access all credit held in Leap Cards that have been inactive for more than five years.
