      Light rail is not designed for long journeys into the suburbs. It’s designed for short hops in urban centers. This is why the Luas is jam packed before even reaching the city center. An underground metro should have been built two decades ago. If bankrupt ex-Soviet backwaters can have metros, why can’t Ireland, supposedly one of the richest countries in the world.

      It’s an ongoing farce that this city doesn’t have a metro. The Green line is usually completely full before it even gets to Dundrum going Northbound because light rail isn’t designed to take such volumes.

      I think we need to accept that we need outside help to build the metro

      The best time to build the Metro was yesterday. The second best time is today.

      So are they going to extend the Green Line to the hole in the ground that they’re going to build the metro in, in like 40 or so years?

      Lol, it was needed 5 years ago, along with various other public transport infrastructural improvements in Dublin.

      Charlemon-Sandyfort corridor, used as it is for Luas now is an untapped potential.

      The Red Line luas is also not fit for purpose. Complete and utter disaster in the mornings

      He’s 100% correct. For once they actually planned ahead when building the luas to allow it to be upgraded and it got shelved because of nimby cunts in Ranelagh.

      This whole thing of politicians at the time saying they should do metro south West instead was just a distraction. That in itself would take decades to to get anywhere, and would just get the same sort of nimby interference. I say that as someone who would directly benefit from the metro south West

      I just don’t even understand the NIMBYs anymore

      Yes, the disruption to the luas for a couple of years would be very annoying. Would it not also be annoying to have to deal with an overburdened luas for the rest of your life?

      In exchange for a temporary disruption you get an incredible metro service on your doorstep, one that will also send your property value skyrocketing.

      What is wrong with people?

      Can we not just go massive, preferably to the point where it is arguably overboard with the City’s Metro? One measly line that hugs the existing Luas Green Line in the City Centre. Build 6/8/10 Metro lines, get them all stuck in the perpetual planning and consultation processes together, but the difference is when it finally gets built in a fifty years, we’ll have 6/8/10 lines instead of one. When this finally gets completed and it’s operational, the NIMBYS will use any criticism of the line, its noisiness, vibrations, delays, people falling on the tracks etc etc to stop any further expansion and any other new lines from ever getting the go-ahead. Rinse and repeat. It will take us another fifty years to get the second line completed and so on.
