The National Transport Authority is developing new technology to help Leap Card users to simplify their transactions.
Soon, Leap Card users will be able to top-up their Leap Cards immediately (from their credit or debit cards) via the free smartphone App, just by holding the card and the phone close to each other.
Another feature on the app will enable users to collect tickets previously purchased online (including Tax Saver products bought through an employer) - without any need to visit a ticketing machine in a shop or a station.
A third feature on the app will allow users check their available e-purse balances in real-time, and the status of any ticket-products they hold on their Leap Card. At present, users can only check their Leap Card balance on the website for the previous day.
