(n) ciallaíonn "stad bus" aon phointe, seachas críochfort, ar ina leith atá sé sceidealta, de réir an bhealaigh shonraithe, go stopfaidh seirbhís rialta ann le haghaidh bordála agus tuirlingthe ag paisinéirí;
(n) "bus stop" means any point other than a terminal where according to the specified route a regular service is scheduled to stop for passengers to board or alight;
4. I gcás ina ndéanfar seirbhís rialta a chealú nó i gcás ina mbeidh moill is faide ná 120 nóiméad le himeacht ó stad bus, beidh ceart ag paisinéirí ar leanúint den tseirbhís nó ar athródú nó aisíoc phraghas an ticéid a fháil ón iompróir, de réir mar a dhéantar tagairt dóibh i mír (1).
4. Where a regular service is cancelled or delayed in departure from a bus stop for more than 120 minutes, passengers shall have the right to the continuation or re-routing or reimbursement of the ticket price from the carrier, as referred to in paragraph 1.
Ina dhiaidh sin, breathnaítear ar mhéid na bpointí teagmhála agus ar phraghas in aghaidh an mhéadair chearnaigh, bunaithe ar an bpraghas le haghaidh fógráin abri (i.e. fógrán i stad bus) a chuirtear i bhfeidhm maidir leis, arna choigeartú chun a chur san áireamh cé acu is i ndea-shuíomh nó i ndrochshuíomh atá an pointe teagmhála agus a mhinice a bhíonn daoine i dteagmháil leis.
Subsequently, the size of the contact points is looked at and a price per square meter, based on the price for an abri advertisement (i.e. an advertisement in a bus stop) is applied to it, adjusted for whether the contact point is in a good or bad location and how often people are contact with it.
Is mar a leanas a chuir na heagraithe cuspóirí an tionscnaimh in iúl: ‘trí chóid QR a chomhtháthú ag gach stad bus, is féidir le paisinéirí rochtain a fháil ar shonraí fíor-ama faoi sceidil, bealaí, moilleanna, agus nuashonruithe; is é is aidhm don tionscnamh seo inrochtaineacht faisnéise iompair phoiblí ar fud Bhallstáit an Aontais a athrú ó bhonn. Cuireann an fhaisnéis seo atá ar fáil go héasca feabhas ar eispéiris taistil, laghdaíonn sé éiginnteacht, agus tagann sé leis na spriocanna iompair inbhuanaithe atá ann maidir le húsáid iompair phoiblí a chur chun. Cuireann an tionscnamh le cathracha níos glaise trí thaisteal bus a spreagadh, brú tráchta agus astaíochtaí a laghdú. I gcomhréir le Conarthaí de chuid an Aontais amhail an margadh aonair digiteach, déanann an tionscnamh teicneolaíocht nua-aimseartha a chomhtháthú i seirbhísí poiblí, rud a thugann cumhacht do phaisinéirí cinntí eolasacha a dhéanamh. Tá an trédhearcacht sin ag teacht le prionsabail an Aontais maidir le cosaint tomhaltóirí, trí fhaisnéis atá cruinn agus cothrom le dáta a áirithiú.’
The objectives of the initiative are expressed by the organisers as follows: ‘[b]y integrating QR codes at every bus stop, passengers can access real-time data about schedules, routes, delays, and updates; this initiative aims to revolutionize public transportation information accessibility across EU Member States. This readily available information enhances travel experiences, reduces uncertainty, and aligns with the sustainable transportation goals of promoting public transit usage. The initiative contributes to greener cities by encouraging bus travel, reducing congestion and emissions. Aligned with EU Treaties like the digital single market, it integrates modern technology into public services, empowering passengers to make informed decisions. This transparency aligns with EU consumer protection principles, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.’
