Ms Anne Graham:

It is the next generation of Leap card. As part of our BusConnects programme, we will introduce the next generation of Leap card, which will be an account-based system. While continuing to allow Leap cards, it will allow the use of bank cards, mobile phones and other forms of ID to register one's journey. In the meantime, we are also considering whether we can deliver a virtual Leap card that can be stored in a phone's wallet app, thereby allowing people to use their phones. We have a mobile app, which is available for bus services in Limerick.
