Can one iLink card be used by two people at the same time?
No. Translink says an iLink card can only be used by one person per journey.
No. Translink says an iLink card can only be used by one person per journey.
An iLink smartcard is for one traveller at a time. Translink does allow the card to be passed to someone else for use at a different time, provided the travel is within the relevant zone and validity period.
If two people are travelling together, they should not expect one iLink card to cover both passengers on the same journey.
