Dublin Bus route 4 - RTPI update gone wrong? Controller intervention?

lil5 · 18-05-2012 02:55PM #1

Not sure whether it has to do with a RTPI update gone wrong or with controller intervention, but since Wednesday the majority of the 4 buses (Harristown to Monkstown) doesn't show up on the RTPI (web/app/display).
The times were always a bit moving on the RTPI up to then, but at least there were buses showing and it was generally quite accurate.

The 7 route even very erratic than normal since Wednesday. Not far from total disaster.

i'll go out on a limb here.
The 15 is always like that from when I first saw the sign in Templeogue village - the time goes from Due - to 1 minute - back to Due - to 1 minute again - up to 6 or 7 times.

Where in this post have you gone out on a limb?

Is that not the nature of real time info? If the bus progress is slowed or stopped then the ETA has to be revised accordingly.

Out of curiosity, I did once time a bus that 6 min out and it did arrive on time.
