Some of Dublin's new Wi-Fi-enabled fleet
Ireland’s National Transport Authority has funded the introduction of a fleet of 80 new Wi-Fi-enabled buses to Dublin city, representing a €26 million investment in the Dublin Bus fleet replacement programme.
The new buses will replace the remaining wheelchair unfriendly buses that Dublin Bus operate, ensuring a 100% accessible fleet by year’s end.
Ireland’s rail service, Irish Rail, has slowly been introducing Wi-Fi to its carriages and routes since December 2010, with demand being described as “extremely high”.
The new buses are described as “the most environmentally friendly to date”, meeting Euro 5 emission standards.
Other recent improvements to Ireland’s public transport system include the introduction of Dublin Bus real-time passenger information displays at bus stops and a journey planner app for Android and iPhone.

@pdscott @darrenmccarra I'm reliably informed they are prone to overheating & causing electrical bus problems…
@wholesomeIE @pdscott Warm because of constant use maybe but not sure about electrical faults?
@darrenmccarra @pdscott nor am I tbh. Bus mechanic says its a constant issue on Matthew's coaches fleet.
@wholesomeIE @pdscott Matthew's installed Wi-Fi on their existing fleet. Do new buses come Wi-Fi ready? Better integrated.
@darrenmccarra @pdscott I hope so! Time will tell I guess. Bus manufacturers have been slow to adapt.
@wholesomeIE Is it the passengers or the buses that over heat? =D @darrenmccarra
