The real time system has come in for criticism around no-show or so-called 'ghost buses' that don't show up

"As a user of Dublin Bus myself this is something that happens from time to time and frustrates me," he said."The technology is over 15 years ago the antennas on the buses aren't as sensitive as they need to be.

"That will be implemented over the next two to three years which will improve the reliability of the RTPI system". "We have 11,000 buses in our fleet - approximately 70% of them are diesel, 20% are and now we're starting to get into the electric vehicles," he said."Ultimately by 2035 the idea is to zero tailpipe emissions with regards to our vehicles".due to a lack of EV chargers,"This is a fairly new project for Dublin Bus and for the city of Dublin, there's complexities with it," he said.
