Tá thart ar 263,000 leanbh ar fud na hÉireann incháilithe anois don scéim taistil leathnaithe seo - seo mar is féidir leat iarratas a dhéanamh do do leanbh
Sheol an tÚdarás Náisiúnta Iompair (NTA) an Cárta Léipe nua do Leanaí 5–8, rud a thugann rochtain saor in aisce do leanaí idir 5 agus 8 mbliana d'aois ar iompar poiblí ar fud líonra an TFI.
Tá thart ar 263,000 leanbh ar fud na hÉireann incháilithe anois don scéim taistil leathnaithe seo, ar féidir leo a úsáid suas go dtí a 9ú breithlá.
Is féidir le teaghlaigh iarratas a dhéanamh ar an gcárta ón lá inniu, tríd an tairseach ar líne ag leapcard.ie
Léiríonn an Cárta Léipe nua TFI seo leathnú suntasach ar bheartas taistil saor in aisce na hÉireann do leanaí. Cé go dtaistealaíonn siad siúd faoi bhun 5 bliana d'aois saor in aisce cheana féin gan chárta, bainfidh leanaí idir 5 agus 8 mbliana d'aois a úsáideann an Cárta Léipe nua TFI leas as an sochar céanna anois.

Clúdaíonn an cárta gach seirbhís iompair phoiblí TFI, lena n-áirítear Bus Átha Cliath, Bus Éireann, Go-Ahead Ireland, TFI Local Link, Iarnród Éireann, agus LUAS.
A bhuíochas leis an gCárta Léim nua do Leanaí 5-8, beidh sé níos fusa do theaghlaigh turais inacmhainne a phleanáil, agus spreagann sé aistriú chuig taisteal níos inbhuanaithe agus níos nasctha ar fud líonra an TFI.
Dúirt an tAire Darragh O’Brien: “Comhlíonann an tionscnamh seo an gealltanas soiléir atá sa Chlár Rialtais chun iompar poiblí a dhéanamh níos inacmhainne agus níos inrochtana do theaghlaigh. Tacaíonn an chéim phraiticiúil agus bhríoch seo le tuismitheoirí agus caomhnóirí ina ngnáthaimh laethúla, agus cuireann sé lenár spriocanna níos leithne maidir le hastaíochtaí a laghdú, nascacht a fheabhsú, agus líonra iompair níos inbhuanaithe a chruthú don todhchaí.”
