User reviews
This is not a Live app unfortunately, cancelled and delayed trains are not reflected accurately. Another feature which I think should be on the app for the trains is to show if the lifts are working at the station. Very disappointing.

Worst service I've ever seen. The live times and the times at the stops don't match at all. The "live time" is not live, I know this because I was waiting over an hour before a bus finally showed up. The people behind this need to fix this broken app fast. Bus Eireann along with these app modders need to work together to fix their broken system.

TFI "live" simply does not work. App, the "system" in general does not work. Two buses frozen at 1 minutes due, and 5 minutes due, for about 15 minutes. Ring the help desk so they can provide a physical location. Bus was miles away.
