Dublinbikes stations back in action after connection fault

A total of 36 bike stations were affected by the fault yesterday.

Updated 25/07/2017

DUBLINBIKES STATIONS ARE all operating as normal this morning after an issue yesterday that left many cyclists unable to use the system.

Yesterday the company said ”a significant number” of Dublinbikes stations had been disconnected from the network due to the faulty connection.

A total of 36 bike stations were affected by the fault.

This morning Dublinbikes said there was an issue with an “external communications provider”.

“Our data communications provider resolved this issue earlier this morning and all of the Dublinbikes stations are now operating,” it said.

The Dublinbikes scheme has 66,000 long-term members.

In total this year, over two million journeys have been taken on the bikes, which are stationed around the capital.

Since their launch in 2009, over 19.8 million journeys have been taken, with 95% being short enough to qualify as free.

- With reporting by Michelle Hennessy.

    Best passwords take your home town or similar word that is at least 6 digits long and substitute some of the letters for similar looking figures or grammatical symbols. ie. Dublin town = D¿8|!■ 70₩#

    One of the great things about learning to write code is that you realise that there is no such thing as a personal password …..

    Yes, I would like to know about the iPad as I received an iPad for a present some while back. I have read about various attacks on information sites and on Apple too.
    I know no-one is keen to say they are not safe but I think a good dose of reality for both firms and users may help with taking measures regularly.
    I am always very grateful for advice on here and do my best to follow,up regularly.
