      >More than eight and a half million euro has been left by passengers on Leap cards that have not been been used for five years or more.

      >The NTA confirmed to the deputy, who is the Sinn Féin spokesperson on Transport, that there are nearly 2.3 million Leap cards now classified as inactive.

      >Ten million Leap cards have been sold since they were first introduced in 2011.

      So over 75% of all Leap cards ever sold are still classified as active, and there’s an average of €3.69 left on each of the inactive ones.

      Woo, what a story.

      I’ve got a 2013 issued card with €4.50 on it set to expire in 2032 and a 2022 issued card with €0.50 on it set to expire in 2041.

      I probably use the Leap Card once or twice a year when I go down by Dublin by train, and then get around the city on the Luas, bus or DART.

      I have no idea if either of my cards are “inactive”, given they spend most of the year sitting in a wallet. I’d imagine there’s probably loads of tourists who probably also get a Leap card to take public transport and then never use them again. I have an OV-Chipkaart in my wallet that only saw use in the Netherlands before OV-Pay (bank cards) was rolled out, and I have a pair of Oyster Cards sitting at home that I don’t think I’ve used since 2011, because contactless also got rolled out, and is more widely accepted than the Oyster is now.

      No need to modernise the service to contactless payments like in London.

      That’s a nice side income.

      Oh no hang on, that’s only 26 bicycle shelters.
