A dayLink smart card provides unlimited Metro and Glider day travel for adults and children. You can load your dayLink card with 1, 5 or 10 days and use your travel whenever you want.
You don’t have to travel on consecutive days and dayLink smartcards can be topped-up with more travel when you need it. You can top-up with another 1 day’s travel on the bus or with 1, 5 or 10 day’s travel at our Translink top-up and sales outlets.
You can buy all day travel which means you can travel any day, anytime on the Metro and Glider network. dayLink cards can be used on all Metro and Glider or on an Ulsterbus service scheduled to pick up passengers within the Metro and Glider operating area, plus you can top-up with the driver with 1 day’s travel on board Metro or at Ticket Vending Machines at Glider halts.
You can travel whenever you want as any unused day travel remains stored on your card until you decide to use it on a day of your choice. For example you can use a dayLink card topped-up with 5 days travel on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of one week and Wednesday of the following week.
