Notions…that’s too much for us
Have another bus that’s delayed
In the city that won’t allow tall buildings…
Yes, except it would cost the GDP of several planets to build here, going on current bike shed rates scaled upwards.
How much would it cost BAM to build
Wow, calm down Cyberpunk 2077
Would that be free to ride?
In this country? No. Nice idea though. Using the corridor of the canals which is already cleared.
Why not, though? Planning aside, there doesn’t seem to be that much digging involved.
The routes in Dublin would be pointless. We need Rapid transport to and in the city centre not around it
We could have metros, more trams, monorail or suspended railways, the problem is that none of them can defeat a single Dublin homeowner who doesn’t want roadworks 400 metres from their house.
When we get a few buildings over 6 storeys we can talk about the high speed upside down metro
Suspension railway mono rails are rare for a reason.
They offer very few advantages of standard light rail.
And have many more disadvantages than standard light rail.

This is the suspended monorail in Wuppertal, Germany, which is called the Schwebebahn (floating railway).
It was built over a century ago, and it’s basically one of a kind, because while it’s very useful for the city it’s in, it’s also a bespoke system, that cannot be recreated easily.
But because of its design, it has less capacity per train than a Luas does in Dublin. Basically… you might as well build a couple new Luas lines, and have a way better effect.
Cons – it would be so ugly. Taking the road space alongside the canal and allow drivers local access only would be a lot easier and less expensive
I think so, but it would also cost eleventy bajillion euros the way things are done here.
What would happen the existing bridges?
Jesus of course it would for only 999 billion euro with a completion date of 2066. LETS DO IT!! We can spend the Apple money on thinking about it.
The objections to this would be on steroids compared to Metro and that’s underground!
Can you imagine how badly we would fuck this up. Even thinking about it has probably caused an over spend
Nah, scangers would ruin it
I hear those things are awfully loud
Ok, hear me out; canals yes, but public transport is… submarines.
We already have a train line, soon to be DART line going along the Royal Canal.
We would find a way tp fuck it up and make it cost 50 times its actual value
They can call it the Suas
No, too many cronies to look after here to make anything like this affordable
Ah stop.
Not a huge fan of monorails. Because of the single point of connection the track is extremely thick and takes up far more space visually than you think. They can be a bigger visual obstinate than a conventional two track. I think there are known issues with the track itself in terms of switch lines and stuff aswell
Id have to track it down but there’s a video by an American engineer/designer talking through the major issues that make monorails worse than conventional two track systems. They compare examples in I think the US and Japan and where it runs into problems.
Can’t be building up the city center and can’t be building efficient public transport.
So no.
