Number’s up for city buses as part of move to real-time signs

THEY’VE been known for years by their number alone — but now the number’s up for some of Cork city’s busiest bus routes.

Bus Éireann announced last night it is renumbering all city routes with immediate effect to facilitate the rollout of real-time passenger information displays.

The electronic signs at bus stops will use GPS to show passengers where the next bus is.
