suck it cars.
To the shock of nobody, the plan doing exactly what it intended to do with little to no issues.
Time to be brave and roll out the rest of the plan.
That’s if the fecking bus turns up on time
I was *assured* this was going to be a clusterfuck.
I bought all this popcorn for *nothing*.
I’m all for this, but I was in Dublin last Thursday trying to get over the river on the Luas and it was bedlam, was that teething trouble or was that some other factor involved?
Who is going to break the good news to Pat Kenny?
And this is the watered down plan.
Imagine what we could do if we told car park owners where to go.
Is it? There seems to be even more traffic going up o’ Connell St and the buses are spending extra 5-10 mins to clear the Parnell St junction.

Wait till there is a serious crash on the M50 at J6 and no one can cross over the Liffey. That will be some fun.
Turns out when you don’t have a bunch of assholes in private cars clogging up the bus lanes the buses can move a bit better. Who would have thought?
Was just on the aircoach going to Dublin today and was shocked about how quick it crossed the city!
I thought bus drivers weren’t happy with these changes?
Wait till we start plopping up ANLR cameras at all toll roads, and automatic fines and penalty points (maybe criminal charges too!) start getting handed out like candy!
One can drean
Nice to hear it’s working.
I had to get a bus from Smithfield a few months ago. Took 40 mins to get down the quays.
All this is just tinkering around the edges until we have a real alternative in a Metro combined with congestion charges inside the canals.
Oh won’t someone think of the poor put upon rent seeking city centre traffic park owners ?
Trips to Switzerland and private jets don’t come cheap you know !
I blame the “woke green agenda” and those tree hugging dopes in the Green party.
Whatever next – reduced road deaths, reduced emissions, more cyclists and pedestrians ?
Its political correctness GONE MAD !
Great not having HGVs from the Port on the quays any more. It should be 24 hour.
