We should call in whichever experts run the public transport in Germany to sort our our bus and transport system. I lived about 5 years ago in a small town in Germany with a population of 200k at most and every stop had real time information displayed on screens. The buses and trams always arrived at a predictable time and it was so easy to plan your day , your work, your after work hobbies, trips to the sports field and pub etc all without being under any pressure to use a car. In Dublin its so much more difficult to plan a day without your own car.
