Start DARTUnderground and Metro North NOW

ClovenHoof

DART Underground and Metro North should never have been cancelled, the 'buses are enough', 'we are not the same size as London', 'Dublin is too small and of low density' all are lies peddled by the Irish establishment so as not to do ANYTHING meaningful in Dublin.

Fuk London and Paris: BOSTON, AMSTERDAM, OSLO, MUNICH, PRAGUE, COPENHAGEN, HELSINKI, ZURICH and on and on and on.

All cities around the same size and population density as Dublin (some even smaller) and all have complex underground rail and metro systems.

You landed yourself in the shyte the politicians and thicko media landed you in and you repeated it without checking.

Dublin needed a Metro SYSTEM and especially the DART Underground 20 years ago. This is standard for cities of our size. We are European capital for christ sake, stop also comparing Dublin to Bristol and Leeds. We are losing out in global competitiveness massively with this because of this 'a few aul extra buses is enough' mentality. The top global competitiveness reports are dropping Dublin further down the list because they are amazed that Dublin has no underground rail system of any kind.

It's 23:48 on a Friday night. This is no time to start a major infrastructural project.

Has there been any studies done on a BRT system for Dublin?

If we all went out with shovels, we could make a start on it now.

Why would they be dropping us down the list? Did they think before we had a metro? Amazed were they? I hope they were sitting down when they got the news.

We will never have the balls to take on a proper underground system so quit lusting after it. We would need the Brits back for a project like that.

I'll only go to Dublin if I'm getting double lodge, I will bring my own shovel though.

Invest in infrastructure and/or services in Ireland? Sustainability? Creating a better country going forward? H'wha?

That's not sexy at all. Here's an extra fiver on all welfare payments and a reintroduction of the Christmas bonus.

On a bank holiday weekend might I add.

You posted pretty much the exact post in the other infrastructure thread. I liked it there but I'm not liking it again. You made me read it twice.

Because a welfare payment increase is sexy?
