    You heard it here first.

    Also a mini-slip road is going to be built for buses to bypass the traffic calming barrier. Making the 17 ... more ... reliable... :pac:

    Apparently. Apart from the 17 being more reliable, of course.

    No link for JJL stop as it was a printed source.

    Here's one for the bus slip-road

    No need for a slip road, just install these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVki24JH7s4
    It will provide entertainment as well as allow buses through.

    From the planning permission, they have those in the slip road.

    Not to be outdone by DCU, I wonder if we can manage more than the €170,000 spent by Dublin City Council to install a single bus stop there...

    (see here for details)

    Interesting. Good to see we're finally getting around to thinking sort of outside the box when it comes to giving busses preferential treatment to cars. What bus route will actually go around by the library?

    I do wonder how reliable those automatic bollards are. Even if they work 99% of the time that still means a few times a year when a bus will have to do a crazy reverse maneuver! I assume the second barrier will be removed or something similar will happen there?

    Maybe the 17 will serve UCD on a Saturday evening and Sunday now. I always thought the fact that it didn't service UCD on a Saturday of a bank holiday weekend the mostly crazy scheduling scheme ever, how specific can you get like!

    Those bollards already exist around campus don't they? There's one up by the Thornfield rugby pitch, as far as I remember, I'm sure there is another somewhere...
