Dear Mr Richardson,
I am writing in response to your request for information regarding the
Plymouth Real Time information at bus stops.

There are currently 68 bus stops within the City fitted with real time
information displays. 22 of these displays have been recently fitted and
are not yet in use. They will become active within the next few weeks. 1
additional stop is planned to be equipped with a real time display within
the next 12 months. Only Plymouth Citybus and First buses are equipped
with Real Time equipment. The bus operators are responsible for equipping
their vehicles so it would be most appropriate to approach the bus
companies for this information.

Regards,
Mark.

Plymouth Citybus is a public authority in its own right, and lately I've been scraping together the information necessary to get it and the other municipal bus companies added to WhatDoTheyKnow. I'll get a move on so you can ask them about this.
