In Ireland it is impossible to get Buses to run on time. They just don't. They never have and never will.

At least by making the drivers someway responsible (by making them notify the stops) the public can see when the damn things WILL eventually arrive.

I travelled on the Irish bus and rail network for over twenty years until I got a car. It's the worst in the world. I've been on buses that were two hours late leaving or three hours late arriving. I've waited for buses that simply never came. I've even waited at a bus stop that Bus Eireann de-commissioned THAT DAY and never told anyone. They just stopped sending buses that way.

In Germany you can set your watch by the bus. In Ireland you might, might be able to tell what season it is.
