The new Adamstown Link Road must be near completion now and I saw last night that they were tarmacing the final juntcion of the new "Outer" ring road so these may provide some relief to the congestion slowing the bus's.
I think though the fundamental problem with the raod network is the M50.
Dont forget that the increased Adamstgwn traffic will probably balance this out, and maybe even make it worse! I
Don't mean to hijack ur thread Mister Mac, but chippengael what route do you cycle? i cycle from Clonsilla - through Roselawn, Castleknock, the park and up the quays - all in it takes 40-45mins.
Dont encourage people out of their cars. There's nothing worse for cyclists than a road with loads of other cyclists. Ever cycle down the grand canal, its a nightmare. Leave people be in their nice warm, slow cars.
I live in Griffeen Glen and used to laugh at people who complained about the commute... not any more.
I go to Baggot Street, and it generally now takes 1:15 to get into work. As the previous poster says, it all depends on how long it takes to get to Woodies - recently it's taken me up to 45 mins, and I would walk but I'd be afraid that the bus would be full by that point.
The Mortons bus and the 25X don't seem to take any difference in time. Maybe the Mortons would trim 5 mins off, but that's all.
The new QBC might make a difference, but I'm not sure whether and how the routes will change to accommodate this. Also, Adamstown will have a major effect, as the people commuting from there will be boarding the buses at the top of the route... will this impact on the availability of buses to people closer to the Lucan Road? Are Dublin Bus planning on increasing the frequency of their buses?
it it just me or is it ridiculous having to leave 2 hrs before work starts for a distance of approx 9 miles. im with the cyclists. more time in bed and a bit of exercise.
