Information about the current status of the iBus project

Oliver Beattie made this Freedom of Information request to Transport for London

The request was successful.

From: Oliver Beattie

17 February 2010

Dear Transport for London,

Having read your website's page about the iBus project, I am
interested in knowing the current status of real-time information
being made available via the internet. Your website says:

"Real time information for buses will also be made available via
the internet."

Can you confirm if this is still the case, or whether this project
has been abandoned?

Yours faithfully,

Oliver Beattie
