New Bus Lanes for the Quays

Heart · 20-02-2007 3:16pm #1

Anybody have any idea when the new bus lanes for Quays are coming into operation.

I thought they might have come in at the same time as the HGV ban, but it doesn't seems so.

Anybody any ideas???

Didn't know about that - got a source, and details?

I saw it mentioned in the Irish Times at least a week ago.
It said that there would be a continuous bus lane from Parkgate Street down to the existing bus lane on Arran Quay (Four Courts). I realise that there is a bus lane at the Croppy Acre.

For the time line I suggest you ring Dublin City Council 222-2222.

best to ring the QBN office 686 0100 as they are in charge of the project

Athlone. Just assume all threads that don't mention a specific town are about Athlone. That's where most of the inhabitants of this country live. it's the centre fo the country too. He must have meant Athlone.

Do busses go to Athlone?

I got onto the QBN office, and they got back to me with a date of June 2007 for the commencing of the new bus lanes along Dublin's North Quays.

Thanks for that Heart! I may then change from taking the 78A to taking the 79 into work. I can see some North Quays traffic choosing to take James St & Thomas St as an alternative so it will mean a faster 79 but a slower 78A.

Maybe... but the 78A benefits from a good stretch of bus lane along James St./Thomas St.

Like yourself, I use both the 78A & 79/A and the 79/A will look a better choice once these bus lane come into operation. The QBN Office also said they're looking at ways to facilitate easier bus access from the left hand bus lane to the right hand turning lane (79's do this on Ormond Quay and the 25's, 66's & 67's do this on Bachelors Walk). This would speed things up too.

Contra Flow Bus Lanes along the Quays....Eliminates all Right Turns.....leaves a completely free-flowing turning movement for Buses !!
