Dublin Bay North Labour TD and member of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Seán Kenny, has said that the new national transport App, integrating all real-time arrival information services for Bus Eireann, Dublin Bus, Irish Rail, DART and Luas in one place, will add a new dimension to getting the latest information on State bus and rail services.

"Technology can greatly improve the transport experience and the Real Time Ireland App is a further demonstration of this. Transport users now have all the real time travel information available in Ireland literally at the touch of a button. Minister Alan Kelly has overseen a serious jump forward in terms of the use of technology to improve the transport experience and this app is yet another example of this being done and I warmly commend him for his work on this."

"The Real Time Ireland App allows people to set alerts to inform them when their bus is 10, 20 or 30 minutes away from a certain bus stop, so they can plan when to leave their home or work. The App can inform people when they are approaching a particular bus stop and it also shows combined transport updates from Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, Luas, DART and Irish Rail. The Real Time Ireland App can be downloaded free for iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets."
