Benefits of Smartlink l Buying & Topping up Smartlink l Card Swapping
Smartlink - for Smarter travel!
Please Note: Smartlink Multi-Journey & Travel Cards are valid for use on ALL Metro services.
Smartlink is a plastic smart card which can be loaded in one of two ways to enable you to buy either a certain number of journeys in advance (Multi-Journey or MJ) OR to buy a week or a month’s worth of travel (Travel Card).

Your card can only be used for ONE of these products, so when you buy your first Smartlink Card you will need to decide whether you want it to be a MJ Card or a Travel Card.
Smartlink Offers a Number of Benefits
You can buy a Smartlink Card and top up your journeys or unlimited travel at one of the participating Smartlink Agents in the Greater Belfast Area and the Metro Kiosk, Donegall Square West. You CANNOT buy cards or top up on a bus.
Card Swapping
You can swap your MJ Card for a Travel Card or vice versa by taking the card to the Metro Kiosk, Donegal Square West providing you have a journey balance of zero (MJ Smartlink) or no remaining validity (Smartlink Travel Cards).
