Real Time Passenger Information - cbma06 - 20 Feb 2014

Looks like Durham County Council have updated their website abit, saw the following extract from their site:


Find out when the next bus is due
Across the North East the most popular bus routes are tracked using satellite technology. Information is sent to electronic display boards at bus stops and websites to provide real time passenger information.

You can also get this information on your mobile or smart phone by using our journey planning services.

In County Durham this real time service will be available from July 2014.

Does this mean that their will be a App on the mobile to see real time bus services for across the Northeast similar to the Arriva App from July 2014?.
