BusConnects Dublin - Big changes to Bus Network

That isn't the point. If an entire rebranding exercise, conducted more than three-and-a-half decades ago has passed over the heads of a significant proportion of the population, how does the NTA ever expect its TFI initiative (with added GAI, for extra confusion) to work?

It looks that the hub progress has slowed down within the past month, not sure what the reasons are. However, I have noticed an abandoned house (was it a small pub/restaurant years ago, not sure, but I'm around 7 years in the area and never seen it opened) between the LV and the N4, close enough to the M&S. It looks that there are renovation works going on in the building. The parking beside that house is for maybe 15-20 cars, there were at least 5 vans parked, some of them branded. Not sure who are these builders and if they work inside of the building, or related to the hub (the hub is a few hundred metres away). In saw contractors working on the exterior of the building a few weeks back...

About Palmerstown - I have very little sympathy to these residents. They are no better to those opposing bus lanes, cycle lanes and removal of the parking spaces - they only are interested of their own selfish desires, ignoring others' needs... Not that long ago Palmerstown people were against the buses going via Lucan Road so that a bus stop would be at least a bit closer to the Stewarts Hospital. Re 18: people will use 80 + S4 from now on. I believe, there aren't that many people from Palmerstown to Ballyfermot.

Just following this up today (re bus stops where you have to step off into mud because the concrete area is only wide enough for the bus front doors).

NTA website "contact us" section for "general queries, feedback or complaints about public transport services" links to the TFI Support page.

The TFI Support page states:

"Please contact the public transport operator directly for issues and enquiries relating to the ongoing provision of public transport services including matters such as:

• Operational matters: Bus stop infrastructure, Fares and ticketing"

So I need to contact both Dublin Bus and Go Ahead about these bus stops? That seems like nonsense!

Thanks for that. Assuming the 2023 plan for F, E & D is out the window now ?

What about the N8? I presume thats still going ahead ?

Thanks! Interesting to know. I think they now have a conference/meeting room in the back of the shopping centre, or rent a hotel conference for that. LV was extended a few times over the years, so that wouldn't surprise me. It's just petty they still haven't got rid of these ugly service gates in the front for deliveries. They seem to be randomly in the difference sides of the building with no sense of esthetics. Well badly designed with no future planning.

I've noticed that complaints have all but stopped on twitter comparedntonthe furrore a few weeks ago. Has the driver situation improved? It would be great if they could get the orbitals sorted this year

You can't possibly concatenate all the peak/express buses outbound under just one route name/number. Inbound maybe — although there are still notable differences in the areas certain peak/express serve both on the way and in terms of destination.

Even if they have enough drivers for the current schedule they'll still need more for any expansion. And It's one thing recruiting drivers, it's another thing keeping them.

The problem with the 66X and 67X was that they had a ton of variations to cover essentially six different routings under two numbers. Splitting them out into the X/P25-32 band gave extra clarity to the timetables.

You might notice that the prefixed services are numbered clockwise, from X1 and L1 in Greystones to the X78 and L80s in Malahide, while the regular radial services are numbered anti-clockwise, from the 6 in Howth to the 98 along Merrion Road.

If you read the post you would note that I said that the improvements in general for the c spine are quite good.

The proposals to run the 80 through palmerstown is absolutely an unnecessary expense. It requires the complete reconfiguration of the junction at the oval and acquisition of lands. (This extra expense could be used to buy additional buses or maybe replace bus stops that are only a pole with sheltered bus stops).

As I pointed out nobody asked for a bus to run through the village; and stewards hospital, isn't a 'traditional hospital', it only serves disabled people who primarily use their own private transport for obvious reasons. Even still the 26 bus was only a 5 min walk at most.

The lived reality here is that they are actually slowing down the journey time of the new 80 bus (old 26) as it will now have to cross over the R148 twice.

The first option, clockwise and counterclockwise from heuston no doubt with huge reliability issues with no plans for bus priority
