Digital bus info a sign of the times

The public and the Minister for Public and Commuter Transport hope new digital bus arrival signs unveiled in Cork City yesterday will encourage more people to take the bus.

“By using innovative and consumer friendly technologies, we can make public transport more convenient and reliable,” Minister Alan Kelly said.

He was speaking at the switch-on of the city’s first real-time passenger information sign at a bus stop on the Grand Parade. It is the first time the system has been introduced in a city outside Dublin.
