    No realtime for GA but fine for Dublin Bus, GA should have its own real time system is this on the cards?

    As far as I know, the NTA won't allow Go Ahead to have their own system, so they (and their beleaguered staff and passengers) have no choice but to deal with the NTA's ugly, counter-intuitive and completely user-unfriendly app. I advise passengers to completely disregard all 'real timing' and just use the timetables instead. But that's not much use when, as has been happening far too often over the last week, the bus they're waiting for falls victim to 'operational issues'.

    RPTI is available atm on the Journey Planner app but not on the Real time app. No real time info at all is displaying on the TFI Real Time app that includes GAI, DB and BE.

    Whats going on at GA? Seeing a lot of "the following route...is cancelled for operational reasons" thought things would get more efficient not less as time passes?

    GAI are actually notifying intending passengers of cancelled unlike DB by the looks of things.

    Since they took on the new routes last weekend, they simply don't have enough buses.
