- Trips classified
- 62583 (whole-database totals: the collection counts above include withdrawn days, which publish no per-route data)
- Routes present in the outcomes but absent from the timetable's route table
- None
- Withdrawn days — complete days we refuse to publish, and why
- 2026-07-21 — NTA VehiclePositions feed partially collapsed ~19:20-20:00 UTC (Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann reporting fell ~80% simultaneously while the tracker itself was healthy), mass-producing VANISHED verdicts that are feed artifacts, not operator behaviour. Withdrawn rather than caveated - see the methodology page, amendment G3.
Only trips run by the operators in scope above are ever scheduled or classified at all — that list is a configuration setting, not something derived from the feed, and every claim of “every scheduled trip” elsewhere on this site means every trip of those operators.
Routes missing from the timetable's route table are shown by their raw route id rather than a name. We list them here rather than dropping them, because a route we cannot name is still a route we counted.

Timetable data and real-time vehicle positions come from the General Transit Feed Specification feeds published by Transport for Ireland / the National Transport Authority.

The classifications, rates and intervals in these files are ours, not theirs. If you use them, say so, and link to the methodology so that whoever reads your work can see what the numbers do and do not claim.
