  2. They don’t fail to show up . Martin Nolan just suspends their route

  5. What’s the point of reporting? Everyone in the various authorities get paid either way, the politicians have had their press releases and photos taken, boxes have been ticked that areas are now served by public transport. No-one actually cares whether the buses work or not, no-one is held responsible if they don’t, and most of them probably have taxpayer provided car parking anyway.

  6. The problem is that a lot of bus arrival times aren’t based on gps data, but instead on the scheduled arrival time. Which leads to plebs like me waiting at the stop patiently watching the minutes go down until it reached “due” and nothing turns up

  7. There is an available API can’t an engineer compare the real time data to the expected bus locations?

    Edit: bags not it

  8. Only for dublin? Jaysus lads get over yourselves, yere not the only county on this island ffs

  9. I emailed Dublin Bus about a bus that didn’t show and the fuckers tried to gaslight me into saying it arrived haha. I respect the cheek if nothing else.

  10. The 75 used to be notorious for just not showing up, even when the roads were half empty, used to drive me mad.

  11. What’s the difference between a no show and a ghost bus?
