It would be in direct contradiction to our climate laws & obligations, prolong car dependency, and be contrary to the 2022-2042 GDA Transport Strategy, not to mention the biodiversity impacts.
Unfortunately, after decades of underinvestment in the city, another road is not going to fix our problems

M50 congestion can only be fixed through Government policy change, says TII
Sean O’Neill says traffic on the motorway have supassed Celtic Tiger numbers
Building the eastern bypass is far from a short or even a medium-term solution—it would take 15-20 years in planning and construction and cost billions!

A major extension to the Dart network that's to serve new neighbourhoods in west Dublin has been delayed for at least four years.
The move has been described as "contrary to best international practice" by one transport expert.

Delighted to see the Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society published today.
I authored Chapter 56 which defines decarbonisation of transport.
It is great to be listed with my international peers in this encyclopedia.

The transport investment plan is out, it looks to fund all the projects we have come to know over the years.. No new investment in Luas, bar the 4km Luas Finglas line.
If you include the €2bn for Metrolink the PT & Active travel vs Roads ratio is 1.4:1

My 4th year students present projects on decarbonisation of transport at 10am. They have lived experience in how far we have to come: I got a 7:20am email from a student whose 6:53am bus didn't arrive, meaning they won't make it for 10am. Happy World Sustainable Transport Day.

At a meeting on Friday I was reminded of how much work we need to do in Ireland to modernise and upgrade our existing rail network. Looking at the statistics, you can see how much work we need to do to even get to the EU average of approx. 57%.

Dedicated Metrolink Agency – will it deliver the much delayed transport link?
Brian Caulfield, Professor in the School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin
I joined Drivetime on RTE yesterday to talk about the new delivery agency for Metro. Hurdles in delivering the project are still ahead, but for the first time it feels like we are getting into the mind space of this is happening & lets get on with it. Call me optimistic

Free Bus Éireann? Could free Mamdani's free bus policy work in Ireland?
In New York City, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned on a platform of making buses free to make life in the city more affordable.
I joined @seanmoncrieff.bsky.social on @newstalkfm.bsky.social to discuss..

Transport 21 Plan
Government announces plans to expand and upgrade the public transport network.
Lets hope in 20 years time we dont have videos like this of the current transport plans for our city, where we look back with regret because nothing happened......

Would free buses work in Dublin and ease traffic congestion?
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has tapped into frustration with city’s service by pledging to make it free
Nice article by Eoin Burke Kennedy in the @irishtimes.com today on free public transport
My 2 cents in the article "the money would be better spent on extending Luas lines and delivering new urban rail services in our regional cities."

Extension of Luas line to Finglas granted permission and could be completed by 2031
The new line in Dublin is expected to cost about €600 million
Great news, Luas Finglas joins Metrolink, 12 BusConnects corridors, DART+ West & South West on the list of Dublin public transport projects with planning permission ..... now for delivery

The NTA Household travel survey results for 2024 are out...
Mode share for driving is up and now higher than it was in 2012.
Cycling mode share has increased slightly on 2023
% of our trips to work are down 7% on 2017, the impacts of WFH & COVID
