Commuters travelling on\u00a0Matthews.ie<\/a>\u00a0will only be able to purchase their popular ten-journey tickets by using a Leap Card from November 1 onwards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In a move that will speed up boarding times on the service,\u00a0Matthews.ie<\/a>\u00a0are changing to a paperless system for their ten-journey tickets, so while passengers can still purchase all tickets for cash, they will need a Leap card for ten-journey tickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Single and return journeys will continue to be printed as paper tickets, however all Adult, Child and Student 10-journey tickets will now be issued exclusively on the Leap Card.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And the company has stressed that all customers travelling to college must have a Student Leap Card to avail of the further discounted Student ten-journey tickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Paper ten-journey tickets sold on or before October will be valid for transport only up to January 31, and must be used by then.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cOur customers love the Leap Card, and since its introduction it has meant easier and cheaper commuting for those who avail of it,\u201d said\u00a0Matthews.ie<\/a>\u00a0Managing Director Paddy Matthews.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe ten-journey ticket is our most popular ticket and moving to a Leap Card will cut down hugely on our paper usage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt is important that anyone who commutes using a ten-journey ticket makes the move to a Leap Card immediately, as we will not print paper ten-journey tickets after October 31.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe change to not printing paper ten-journey tickets will result in less waste and a greener journey, as well as less boarding time for passengers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cCustomers will also have the added benefit of recovering their ticket via the Leap Card system should it get lost or stolen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cMatthews.ie<\/a>\u00a0customers also have the option to preload their card with a 10-journey ticket up to 48 hours before their journey.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
