[Irl-dean] Dublin Bus "Real Time Passenger Information"

[Eamon Mag Uidhir]

They had a working live display showing time to wait for next bus at  
the west-bound bus stop outside Conyngham Road garage a year or so  
ago. It functioned like the Luas or Dart platform indicators of the  
same kind. It was barely adequate for visual users and no use at all  
for users with a visual impairment.

Then one day it simply stopped working.

Are they trying to scale up this prototype in this new tender and  
project, or are they buying in fresh thinking too?
