Real Time Passenger Information
Real Time Passenger Information is provided in a separate pop-up window (a 'virtual display') that automatically refreshes every 30 seconds; providing up to date predicted or scheduled bus times.
Pop-up Window
If you have pop-up advert blocker software on your PC you may have to disable it when accessing the information in order to see the virtual displays. This can often be done for a specific site or by holding down the CTRL key when requesting the virtual display.
The Virtual Display
There is a virtual display for every bus stop. The display provides information for times later that day, nearby stops or a map image to show the location of the stop. It is possible to bookmark / save your favourite stop for quick access on future visits.
Setting a Bookmark
The quickest and easiest way to obtain information is to set up your most frequently accessed stop as a bookmark. Bookmarking simply saves the web address of your virtual display and allows quick access to that address on subsequent visits without having to re- enter the information on the main homepage. To set up a bookmark:
- open a pop-up virtual display for your stop
- select the bookmark option at the top right hand corner of the virtual display
- save the address to your favourites list
When you wish to access the information again, select the address from your favourites list.
View Nearby Stops
If the view nearby stops option is selected, a list of stops in distance order is displayed showing the bus stop number, bus stop name, services and destinations served by that stop. There is also the option to view each stop on a map and to view departure information for that stop.
Stop Information
By clicking on the '+' adjacent to the main stop, it will expand to display a list of the individual stops adjacent to the selected main stop. Click on the individual stop name for information and to identify the stop number for future use. It is possible to view the stop on a map to help you ensure that you have selected the correct stop.
Navigating by map images
When selecting the map option, it is possible to drill down from a high level map to more detailed maps that contain individual bus stop details. Selecting the required stop will generate a virtual display providing predicted or scheduled bus times.
