Cork launches real-time bus information signs

The pilot phase of a new real-time passenger information service is now live in Cork, with electronic bus stop signs operating at a number of locations around the city.

The first of the new signs was switched on at Grand Parade this morning.

Today, 14 of 47 new signs are being live tested before the service is rolled out at some of the busiest bus stops across the city and suburbs during 2012.

It follows the launch of the service in Dublin which is also being extended to Limerick, Waterford and Galway by the end of the year.
