DUBLIN BUS REAL time passenger updates have resumed service after a server problem affected the system earlier today.

A spokesperson for the company told TheJournal.ie that disruptions were caused by a “central server issue” at CIE, which has been resolved.

The issue affected Dublin Bus communication services for hours today, as the company noted in a series of tweets this morning:

Real Time Passenger Information unavailable at present. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
