What catches people out
Assuming one ticket covers everything
Leap works on TFI services, not on private coaches. Check the operator on the route card before you rely on it.
Trusting the terminus time
The headline departure time is from the first stop. Your stop may be twenty minutes later — open the route page for times from where you actually board.
