In common? No bus service which is needed; Carlow's due to get 2 Cross Town services late 2020/Springtime 2021; didn't Enniscorthy have one but it wasn't well populated despite initial enthusiastic support in a town which has various climbs & hills (oh to be in a wheelchair coming down Slaney St. or Castle Hill & the breaks go....) and goes from JJ Bolgers & Clearstream to out the Wexford & Ross Roads; would a new single or double service be warranted or supported? Can think of all the new developments on Milehouse Rd. where a pop. might justify something; I'd to pay €7 for a taxi recently into the quay; f**k me but if there was a bus service doing that route you'd get a return for that price. Both towns're broadly similarly spread out & similar populations but for Enniscorthy you've to go elsewhere for far too many things incl. the cinema.; I compared it recently to someone as Carlow would've been 20 years ago......

It’s not cable cars we need, we need suitable places to eat, drink, shop, etc. A cable car, merciful Jesus lads. They can’t maintain the stuff we do have (the river is a state, the seats beside it covered in moss and all sorts) and they want big new shiny toys? Honestly, their like kids who break their stuff and expect no one to object to their wanting new shiny things. Owens brought up a good point to be fair also regarding public toilets. There’s none! I’m not sure exactly why they think places no ones arsed to visit will be more inclined to have visitors because there’s a cable car to bring you there. Invest in some actual transport options (shuttle buses or the likes same as Wexford has). As it stands now, if you don’t drive, you either walk where you need to go or pay for a cab. It’s ridiculous. There’s really issues that could be addressed and their away in la la land designing plans for a cable car as if you’re out in Sweden about to go skiing.
