Dublin Bus Realtime GPS Locations

Open

A dataset that shows the raw Lat/Long position of all buses on the Dublin Bus network. At the moment there is only a time estimate which can be very unreliable and often does not account for buses that have failed to start at their scheduled time.

    this has not been updated for 4 years, real time data is collected but not published in any open data formats

    The National Transport Authority (NTA) don’t have a feed for bus positions at the moment but currently have a tender out which includes this requirement. They estimate that are about 9-12 months away from being in a position to publish Dublin Bus real-time vehicle positions. When they do publish it, it will include Dublin Bus, Bus Eireann and Go-Ahead routes initially. Open Data Team 25 October, 2017
