Bus Fares
Leap Card Fares
The TFI 90 Minute Fare (TFI 90) is a reduced rate fare that can be used for the majority of journeys in the Dublin area. It includes the option to transfer for free between Dublin City Buses, Luas, DART and commuter rail (zones 1-4 in the Short Hop Zone) within 90 mins.
| TFI Leap Card Fares | Adult | Young Adult (19-23) / Student |
|---|---|---|
| Short (up to 3km) | €1.50 | €0.75 |
| TFI 90 Minute | €2.00 | €1.00 |
To avail of this fare, the Leap Card is tapped on the first leg of a journey, the commuter can then change transport mode as often as needed and then touch on again at the start of the last leg of the journey. Once the commuter touches on the last journey within 90 minutes of the first they will only be charged the TFI 90 Fare.
You can buy your TFI Leap Card:
- At any available Leap card agent outlets – find your nearest agent using the map under the Where to Buy section in the TFI Leap Card website.

- You can also buy at selected DART ticket machines in Dublin.
