Throw a few more billion at roads. That will solve it!

Well, the government is working on it, delaying public transport and building more roads. I mean, that helped the last 50 years, no……./s

Dublin City Council said they’d make traffic worse and succeeded.

Shutting down roads in city centre didn’t help? Colour me shocked

I remember when Dublin Bus’ motto was “moving with the city” – never told us that the city in question was Delhi…

Also one of the worst cost benefit public transportation systems. Terrible quality, terrible planning, terrible execution but not shy on price.

The report only surveyed 36 countries and seems to have excluded the likes of India, Egypt, Nigeria, and China.

Reckon there’s 11 more congested cities in India alone

Don’t worry, our government has a genius plan to do absolutely the bare minimum. I hear Michael O’Leary thinks we need only throw “AI” at the problem.
And thank goodness we gave those Greens a good electoral bollicking eh? /s

These problems can’t be solved over night you know!
I’m back home for Xmas this year and despite the general uptick in traffic around this time the traffic has definitely increased significantly in Dublin. I guess you guys know that but it’s been difficult to contend with as a tourist too.

Utopia – A high speed rail link that connects Dublin to Louth, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, Carlow, Wexford and a SCMaglev service that does Dublin to Galway in 25 minutes. To compliment this you would have six underground lines in the capital.
Reality – Money is going to get spunked on weapons that will make fuck all difference if they were ever needed, which they won’t be.
The astroturfed campaign in Ireland to buy arms since the budgetary surpluses of 2022 onward has been a sight to behold.
“We need ships to fight the Russians”. Yeah, enjoy your four hour commute.

Letting people work from home would fix this embarrassing issue 🤷.

The M7 and M50 are totally clogged. I know what might help, lets cancel the dart that follows the M7 for 5 years……

Just need to get rid of the slow buses etc and widen some of the roads to 2 lanes, that will get everything flowing nicely.
Blocking off flows like this does not help and they have done this all over the city. It’s like each council is running a competition to see how hard they can make it for motorists .
