Dr Suzanne Little, SFI Principal Investigator at the Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics and Associate Professor in the School of Computing at Dublin City University, tells Intelligent Transport about the Dublin City University e-scooter research pilot and explains how the project is using data to improve the passenger…
The e-scooter pilot will enable researchers from Dublin City University (DCU) to analyse data and inform future e-scooter rollouts both in Dublin and throughout Ireland.
Commuters in Dublin could soon be travelling on hydrogen fuel-cell buses, after the NTA and Bus Éireann announced an investment of more than €2 million to purchase three zero emissions vehicles.
The new Broadstone Depot is located in the north of the Irish capital and will have capacity for 120 buses, as well as plenty of swifts.

The redesigned bus network will reportedly provide a more coherently planned, higher capacity and more understandable network, increasing overall services by 22 per cent.
The city’s congestion levels are on the rise and the public transport is consequently suffering, however, BusConnects Dublin programme has a solution to offer…
