The unmitigated failure that is transport in Dublin

    I was lucky enough not to have to sit in traffic for very long on Wednesday because I didn't have to go through DCC controlled areas. However I heard the horror stories of people being in traffic for 8 hours, anywhere with a hill closed down, my own mother spent 3.5hours on a journey at a regular time that usually takes 45 minutes. I heard of riots in Connolly station, fights for tickets for trains and queues out the door of stations. Not to mention the chaos which must have been on display at the airport.

    The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the interview with the DCC traffic manager who seemed completely clueless. He freely admitted that they knew well in advance snow was going to fall,m just not exactly where it would fall. Yet he admitted they didnt anticipate it.

    The lack of pllanning, lack of organisation, lack of decent public transport, lack of pure ****ing common sense in this country is personified by the gridlock that occurred on every single form of transport yesterday, in one way or another. This country is going to ncollapse upon itself sometime soon if we do not shape up, stop comparing ourselves to the disaster that is the UK and look to our european counterparts for examples of how to properly run a city, or a country.

    Dublin cannot cope with events like what happened last night and what is ongoing and projects that need to start NOW to relieve this need to be started, not held behind a decade of red tape and complete bull****.

    The powers that be need to cop on and the general public need to stop accepting this absolute crap. If we don't make some sort of stand this country will continue to be run into the ground and eventually implode.
