    For something that makes "no odds" to you, it rattles you enough.

    'the greens just want the road network for those who really have to use it, and they have to get cars out of the cities as they are smogging up the place and holding them back.'

    The Road Network is for all vehicles and must be utilized fully to maximum capacity… for all vehicles. WE DO NOT have to get the cars out of cities. It needs to be fully integrated for all vehicles and YES that includes Private cars. Plus there's no smog!! what are u on about???!!!!???

    '.. i look forward to the day that the only vehicles i see are busses and trams.'

    I take it you don't drive and haven't even factored in that we also need large Trucks for goods deliveries so the economy can function.

    100% Trains are way cheaper now than 20+ years ago, even excluding inflation, just straight up number to number, my train ticket is cheaper as an adult compared to the student fare I got back then. If you include inflation it is substantially cheaper.

    no just having a discussion on a discussion forum.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    the road network is utilised to full capacity, beyond it in fact on the motor way network and in the cities.
    yes, i'm afraid we do have to get private cars out of the cities as they are taking up substantial space and it is beyond unsustainable to cater to them in any way at this stage.
    i do drive but not being able to drive in the city and be held up in traffic is not a big deal, quite frankly it's a **** experience.
    trucks can have set times for deliveries at early morning or late at night.

    I don't drive into the city very often but I never have had any problem with it. There is traffic but sure in that case I am traffic. I aim for the sidestreets near where I want to go in any part of central Dublin, north or south - even Temple Bar and there will be a space free for parallel parking within a 5 min walk more or less no matter what. Never have to make laps looking for a space, or have to deal with cramped, madly expensive multi stories which are basically just tickets to curb your alloys.

    Being able to keep this experience for when it is required while increasing uptake on public transport for people who simply don't need the space of a car in the city is what we need to see happen. If I don't need a car - by myself etc, going straight to an event in Dublin from home, I will plan ahead and use public transport. In some cases, like having to do a days work before going to something, or if there's a multiple people, or bulky items - it just makes much more sense to drive - and when it does and I have to - I would not say the road network is used to full capacity.
