If the driver acquires change along the route you will receive your change before disembarking, if not the driver will obtain the correct change at the bus station.

If you are not travelling to a bus station where change can be obtained, please provide the driver with your name and details of where you would like to collect your change (Metro passengers can collect at Metro Short Strand Depot or at a chosen Metro location).
