Summer is here, which means school holidays and endless opportunities for hopping onto a bus, tram or train and getting out and about. And if you or your kids are under 19 years old, there’s some very good news in the form of Leap Card’s Kids Go Free scheme. From today (3rd July) until Sunday 16th July, child cardholders can travel free on a range of services around the country:
- All Dublin Bus scheduled services (excluding Airlink)
- All Luas services
- All DART services
- All commuter rail services in Dublin’s “Short Hop Zone” (all stations from Greystones to Balbriggan; from Dublin city centre to Maynooth; and from Heuston to Hazelhatch) and on the Cork to Cobh or Midleton train lines
- Ashbourne Connect
- Bus Éireann services that are enabled for Leap users, which includes city services in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford plus Dublin and its surrounding counties (excluding Expressway).
All you need to take advantage of free travel is a Child Leap Card (4-15 or 16-18) with at least one cent of credit. If you don’t already have one, you can buy one at the usual outlets. Happy travels!
