I know one driver on my bus route who used to stop, let passangers on and then go into a hair dressers for 5 minutes.Declanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245817580768604782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12867535.post-1146720431884819182006-05-04T06:27:00.000+01:002006-05-04T06:27:00.000+01:00I heard about this program and while it sounds lik...I heard about this program and while it sounds like a fantastic idea, I am skeptical that it will actually make it through to implementation.-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359625931588140579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12867535.post-1146612946331779182006-05-03T00:35:00.000+01:002006-05-03T00:35:00.000+01:00Supposedly there was a radio system that was ready...Supposedly there was a radio system that was ready to be in place thirty years ago, which would have enabled all Dublin Buses to be monitored as they travelled around the city. It was based on a number of clicks (wheel revulsions) the bus would make, which would be picked up by a radio trasmitting system and then be radioed to HQ. It would take a number of clicks for the bus to reach certain points along the road, so bus 16 with 50 click would (if on route) be at point x and with 70 clicks at point z. Unsuprisingly the CIE unions went mental and the thing was scuppered. From talking to an Engineer on the project, they were wary of removing the radios as the Bus Drivers would piss or do worse on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
