rail passengers making dublin bus connections - View dublin bus stops on Google maps

[ThomasJ]

For those of you who may for whatever reason may need to make a bus connection after getting off the train, Dublin Bus have introduced a new facility where you can view the bus stops of a particular route.

When you go to a particular timetable a black quote bubble labeled "view bus stops in google maps" appears for each direction. by clicking on it a popup will appear in google map format. red quote bubbles will display. These are the busstops. By clicking on the quote bubble details will then display of the busstop.

An example here for the 114 route heading towards blackrock.

Not perfect, missing two stops in Blackrock, one on Temple Rd and the other on the bottom of Carysfort Ave

I agree, I noticed a couple of missing bus stops allright but I like the idea!

Now I would like to see links to integrated maps like this on the "your station" information

[Colm Moore]

They need to add the routes like they have on www.mkmap.com/dublin

Some of the data is fuzzy - this example gives the bus stop on the other side of the road - for going in the other direction.
