Fingal Pass – Free 30-Minute Trips:

Residents of Fingal County can benefit from the Fingal Pass, which offers the first 30 minutes of every pedal bike trip free of charge, thanks to the support of Fingal County Council. To apply for the Fingal Pass, residents need to complete an online application form and provide proof of address. Once approved, users must select the Fingal Pass as their payment method in the Bleeper app to activate the benefit. It's important to note that a minimum of €2 credit is required in the wallet to begin a trip, even when availing of the free 30 minutes. The Fingal Pass applies exclusively to pedal bikes and does not cover e-bikes or cargo bikes.

Operating Zones:

Bleeper bikes must be picked up and returned within designated parking zones, which are strategically located near public cycle stands, public transport stops, community facilities, and local shops. Users can only end a trip when the bike is within one of these zones; however, the 'Pause' function allows for temporary locking outside these areas.

Tariffs Beyond the Free 30 Minutes:

After the initial free 30 minutes provided by the Fingal Pass, standard rental fees apply at a rate of €0.04 per minute. If a trip is paused, the charge is €0.02 per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Traveling Outside Fingal: Users are permitted to ride outside Fingal County or between different areas within Fingal. Trips can be ended in any Bleeper parking zone across Dublin, including Dublin City and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
Ending Trips Outside Parking Zones: Trips must be concluded within a designated parking zone. However, the 'Pause' feature allows for temporary locking outside these zones.
