    dBikes Planner – Predictive Cycle Route-Planning for Dublinbikes

    To finish off my undergrad degree, I had to complete a long-term Final Year Project that I'd start in September and finish by April. I've been really interested in the role tech can play in improving public transport recently, and over the summer I started using Dublinbikes as the final leg...
