In Dublin, if you use a combination of Dublin City Bus services (operated by Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland), Luas, DART and Commuter Rail, your travel credit use will be capped at the daily/weekly rate.
In Cork City capping applies to eligible TFI bus services only.
When you get close to a Daily or Weekly cap you will only be charged the amount to bring you up to the cap. After you have reached a cap you will be charged €0.00 for subsequent travel that day or over the week (Mon-Sun).
Sometimes the Weekly cap (Mon – Sun) amount may be reached before the Daily cap. The Weekly cap (Mon – Sun) adds up the credit used each day and may be reached before the Daily cap towards the end of the week. In these cases the amount deducted from your card will stop at the Weekly cap (Mon – Sun) value. This is normal and all subsequent travel is free until the end of the week (Monday 4:29am). Once you reach the cap value, you are still required to tap-on and tap-off as normal in order to have a valid ticket.
