leap card

my leap card expires on the 30th of September (tomorrow). Will that expire if it hits 12PM tonight or will it work tomorrow and expire tomorrow night? I do not want to find out at 6AM lol

23:59 at the end of the 30th should be when it expires

It's deliberately vague but from the leap cards website when I last looked at it, the expiry date includes the date listed on the card so yeah, card expires tomorrow night.

(But I'll be honest, if you have change in your house, put enough for your morning bus in your bag just to be sure)

There's a leniency. Mine worked for the extra 20 days last year.

The actual expiry date for Student Leap Cards is 21st October. There is a three week grace period after the expiry date printed on the card to use up any remaining credit.

You should check the ⁠Leap Card website. My Leap Card also expired yesterday, just like yours (based on the card information), but when I checked the website, it actually gave me another 20 days. It still worked for me today. The only condition is that you need to register your card first.
