Firstly Eleanor,
I'm disappointed in your bad etiquette of instead of ignoring and
deleting an email obviously sent in error (as requested), you draw
attention to it.
On the bus app issue itself:
Congratulations on your prowess on being able to easily change from
irish to UK app-stores and back again...we're not all equally gifted
in such matters.
The essential point is that where our sighted counter-part can collect
a printed timetable - note the word timetable - but 'schedule' can
also be used - a blind person can only access the same information by
dialling an 1850 number costing 36c per minute (with regular
time-waiting of ten minutes a go).
Neither the MoveIt app, the JourneyPlanner app, nor the RealTime app
have timetables or schedules. So, for instance, if you want to find
out what times on Friday evening the bus is heading from Busarus to
Sligo next Friday, and what times on Sunday you can head back, you
cannot do this using apps as currently designed.
Your sighted counterpart can do this.
Robbie
