A new 90-minute Leap card flat fare is being introduced on Cork’s city bus network next month that will allow passengers free transfer between buses for multi-leg journeys.

A new distance-based fare structure is also being introduced in a new commuter zone outside the city zone that will extend to some 30km from the city centre.
