Speaking about the launch, Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan TD said: “The TFI Leap Card has gone from strength to strength and it continues to expand with the rollout of the young adult Leap Card.
“Over 80,000 young adult cards were purchased from July last year to the end of the year.
“Public transport customers across Ireland are responding positively to our improved and expanded services on the network with passenger numbers, now back to pre-Covid levels.
“Ireland is one of the few European countries where public transport has bounced back in such a strong way.
“This Leap +1 means that even more people can experience what our public transport system has to offer.
“It’s an initiative that’s good for friends and family and that’s good for our environment, as we enjoy this first February Bank Holiday.”
