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

[Brendan Spillane]

Hi there,

I seam to remember that they had something similar running on some of
the bus roots through Ballyfermot, The 78 and possibly the 79.

I'm not sure how accessible it was but if it is a full roll out of the
same system then they should be able to provide you with information
on how accessible it is.

Best,

Brendan
