      Maybe the 2:1 spending ratio for public transport had a reason to exist, so much of Ireland is now becoming a copy of the US urban planning. That’s so bad after so much that can be learnt from Europe instead.

      Dart + South West has full planning approval since last year, no judicial reviews, no good reason not to continue with the project. Government decided last week to delay it until after 2030.

      Meanwhile thousands of people are moving into housing being built along the route.

      We will then be told that the problems caused were unforeseeable and can’t be fixed over night.

      I worry the same thing is happening a lot now – we’re so desperate for housing we’re adopting a “build now, sort out the shortcomings later” approach, but some things are hard to quickly sort.

      Seeing the same in Cork.

      You would think they learn, but no.

      I take the LUAS from Saggart at 6.50am and by the time it reaches Citywest Campus, that’s two stations further, it is practically full, never mind what happens an hour later. Thousands of new homes build and no additional infrastructure will do that….

      The councillors are 10 years too late. Dublin is choked already. What sort of clowns do we employ.

      They don’t want to build houses till the transport links are in, they don’t want to build transport until there is a proven need for it. I think the state (even beyond this government) has just gotten too good at not doing stuff until it is too late and then it is too little.

      We don’t do long term planning and even of stuff that is planned it gets pushed out. (The Dart plus).

      Have they seen what happens when it rains?
      What are the bus lanes for if they are not contiguous?
      What are the bike trains for when it rains >60% of the year and people don’t use em?

      Of course we have congestion issues, and the nimby cunts are willing to keep everyone hostage even though a metro station next to them will literally add value to their shitty properties.

      Oh geez, if only something like a Metro could help out….

      It’s already a mess and public transport is not making any difference.

      As someone who commutes into Dublin, I see the cuts FFFG are making to the public transport. Bus Eireann express way is a for profit orperation. I see services cut from the Waterford-Dublin line both from trains and buses. When I queried them on this, they said to me that those services were operated by private operators, so they could cut them.

      The private operators, jj kavanagh, are less frequent, over crowded, over booked, mostly sold out, and take a much longer route to increase fair intake, which they can do because they were given a monopoly on that service by FFFG. And FFFG want to reverse the greens policy of spending on public transport/motor ways from 2:1 to 1:2. Its infuriating.
