Real time Dublin Bus info - NCD

The Black Oil

They've put up a new pole at the bus stop near Murrays in Lusk. There's no digital display up, but the pole looks similar to the ones you see in the city, so I presume real time info is creeping out the suburbs. Anyone know, spotted them elsewhere in NCD?

See attached link for info: http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/News-Centre/Travel-News/Real-Time-Passenger-Information-for-Dublin-Bus-services-now-available-/

sure the real time info is wrong at least 50% of the time - more often for some routes. In my experience, all it does is frustrate you even more because you watch the clock more and become more aware of how often your bus is late!

I don't see anything on that link mentioning Fingal, but there is also a new pole outside Fingal CoCo's offices on Dublin St in Swords. Fingers crossed.

There are several displays going into the general Swords area, one in Lusk and one in Rush per this (rather poorly designed map). Zoom in for more precise info.

They really need one on the other side of the road too for northbound busses, the 33 services to the north of the county can be hard to predict times from swords.

Thanks for that. Suppose just one for Lusk is to be expected, really.

Re Swords, I think there are poles on both sides - one at Fingal Co Co and just opposite.

There was one of these poles put outside Pat's College in Drumcondra in February of last year. It wasn't fitted with the display until at least October. So don't be expecting the one in Lusk to be operational any time soon.

Also if they do pop up in Rush I can't see there being any more than 2. One opposite H block and the other opposite Genoa's

You can text the bus stop number to 53035 and it will text you the next buses due at the stop,I have found it to be 80% reliable at my bus stop.
