As Dublin City Council Transport policy committee adopts limited ‘peak hours only’ proposal

Green Party Transport spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe today welcomed the decision to implement a public transport only ‘gate’ at college green in Dublin city centre, but argued the decision doesn’t go far enough to provide better services for Dublin’s bus commuters.

Deputy Cuffe said:

"A ‘bus gate’ at College Green is a key piece of the jigsaw in planning public transport services for the city, which has been recommended by numerous consultants’ reports and will improve Dublin Bus reliability and efficiency. Whilst I’m glad the committee approved a limited form of the bus gate, I think this was a missed opportunity to fully prioritise public transport, cycling and walking in the heart of our city."
