However, short-term members must use a kiosk with credit card facilities; there is also a Dublin leap card that the citizens of Dublin use to use the Dublin bikes services and other public transport in the city.

 

You can also get a Dublin bikes card to link to the Dublin leap card, not for payment purposes but for easier convenience.
