You can use the TFI network around Dublin for 90 Minutes with your TFI Leap Card, for just €2 for adults, €1 for young adults (19-25) or students, and 65 cent for children.

  • Dublin Bus (Except Express services which cost €2.40);

The short fares applies to a journey on any single route up to approx. 2km to 3km in length, so some variances will exist in relation to distances people can travel on the short fare. This is for a variety of reasons including the location of individual stops on the public transport network relative to fare boundaries and to the need to maintain fares consistency when routes use different streets depending on direction of travel.

The short fare and TFI 90 Minute Fare are a new fare structure that apply to TFI Leap on Luas and other transport modes. Cash zones and fares will be reviewed to move to the new structure in 2022.
