How to Top-Up Smartlink

  • Cards can be topped up with 10 journeys on board a bus or with 5, 10, 20 or 40 journeys at Ulsterbus stations, Smartlink Agents and the Metro kiosk, Donegall Square West.

  • Cards can be topped up with 40 journeys at a time and can store a maximum of 50 journeys.

  • If a Smartlink top up is purchased in error at an Ulsterbus station, Smartlink agent, the Metro kiosk or on board a bus the transaction can be cancelled only if this is done before a further transaction has been processed on the ticket machine.

  • Journeys will be valid for three months from the date they are added to the card. Each time a card is topped up all valid unused journeys will have their validity extended for a further three months.

  • Any journeys not used within three months of a top up will expire. Expired journeys are removed from the card and are non-refundable.

  • Ulsterbus Smartlink Multi-Journey Cards cannot be loaded with other Smartlink travel products e.g. Metro Smartlink Travel Card
