As reported on this blog Dublin Bus now has an app for smart phones, which informs passengers the time the bus will arrive at the bus stop. It works.
This morning I travelled by bus on the same route I travelled on a daily basis between 1962and 1967, when not on a bicycle.
This morning the app meant I had to wait less then three minutes at the bus stop. And then on the bus I was able to use my smart phone made easy with the help of a keyboard.
The driver was in constant communication with control and the bus was fitted with GPS.
Modern technology.
It took the bus significantly longer to travel from Orwell Bridge to Kelly's Corner this morning than it did 49 years ago,
Progress? Indeed, a funny old world.
