http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/irish-news/number-of-passengers-using-public-transport-increases-by-10-million-35344442.html

Ireland is increasingly turning to public transport, with passenger numbers up 10 million last year, latest figures shows.

Irish Rail, Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus all saw a rise in business during the year - the fourth year in a row overall numbers are up.

There was a slight drop in the numbers travelling on the Luas but transport chiefs have blamed the dip on industrial action and the partial closure of the Red Line in central Dublin for six weeks in the summer.

more people working, general population growth, and increased tourism.
don't think it's that big a deal.
