The summer sales are finally here! It’s that time of year when you can grab amazing discounts and offers, particularly on expensive items that you have been saving for. The best way to travel to the sales is by Luas as it will take you direct to the main shopping districts, hassle free.

The Luas Pay By Bay Machines at Luas Park & Ride facilities will be removed in the coming weeks. Introduced in Feb 2017 you can now pay for Luas parking at the Luas Ticket Machines on the platform at the Park & Rides. At the Ticket Machine you now pay for your parking with your Car Registration Number instead of paying for your Luas parking with your Bay Number you now pay for your parking with your Car Registration Number.

Starting in early Dec 2016 some of the platforms on the Luas Green Line are being lengthened to 54m. Currently there are 66 trams in the Luas fleet; 40 x 40m trams and 26 x 43m trams. To serve future demand 7 new 54m Luas trams have been ordered.

Customers are advised you may in accordance with the Luas Bye Laws be asked to produce your ticket by a member of the Revenue Protection Team on board the tram or upon alighting the tram on a Luas platform.

The Department of Social Protection are rolling out new Public Services Cards. These new Public Services Cards allow people to access a wide range of welfare services including, for some people, Free Travel. These cards will eventually replace the current Free Travel Pass.
