Luas Red Line

Just saw a large scale ticket check at museum there both on the platforms and on the tram. Good few people caught.

They do the same whenever there is a report in the press about anti-social behaviour on the Luas, there will be security and checks for a few days then service will resume as it was! The horse has departed the barn but they will still try to nail the door shut.

Have to say I disagree. I use the service say on average twice a week, in and out to the city. The majority of journeys I would say are checked, I've being using it for a year now. I don't notice any fluctuation up or down with press reports / joe duffy factor.

Rather anecdotal, no? Unless you've a survey team monitoring the entire line throughout it's operating hours it seems practically impossible to state such things as fact.

And that, folks, is the crux of many issues on here. You might feel something is a certain way, but it does not make it so in reality. So let's put more thought into our words before we make sweeping statements. Taking a less "this is fact because I say it is" and more "I feel that" led approach to arguments might make things go smoother around here. This goes to both and neither sides of any debate.

Food for thought.

They check every day. The problem is who they check, and fine, v's who they don't check.

Seen addicts and drunks argue amongst themselves and 13/14 yo's give the ticket lads a bit of lip around the Fatima/Driminagh and James Hospital stops but nothing much worse really.I live in a rough enough area myself so maybe I'm just used to what some describe as trouble.

So abusing people on public transport is fine:eek: that's antisocial behaviour. Even worst when it's the staff being abuse and who do nothing, so the general public are even less inclined to use this peace of infrastructure that cost us loads to build and operate.
