Mr. Brendan Crowley:

How it works at the moment is a customer who wishes to avail of the young adult card can either book online with operators or they can register for a young adult card, which is a Leap card. When they register for the card the evidence is there to prove they are entitled to hold the card. If they book online with an operator they must have that young adult card with them as evidence they are entitled to that fare. What happens in each case is the operator charges that person 50% of the adult fare.
