I was just thinking this morning that the CIE unions will, in about 5 years, have been in exsistence longer than the Soviet Union.
Rosin Shorthall even though she is surrounded by public transport drives everywhere. I don't think she has any history of public transport usage as an adult.
This is were this obsession with buses comes from. People who do not use public transport at all, have no idea that a bus is the least attractive means of getting to and from work from a passenger point of view.
This is why Rosin Shorthall thinks the same way as right wing economist when it comes to public transport. A Bus is good enough for the great unwashed, becuase the political and economic pundits never have to use public transport.
Not that any of this matters. The CIE unions are back in suicide mode and this latest strike might be the final nail in the coffin of the Interconnector. If not this, a strike prior to the opening of Docklands station would most certainly kill off the Interconnector.
I was thinking that if MetroWest was intergrated properly with the Maynooth, Kildare lines and also extended to meet the DART at Donebate, and if the Kildare Services were routed over the PPT and into the Docklands and Connolly you would problably get away without the Interconenctor. You have to wonder if this is the reason why MetroWest is suddendly being fast tracked and the Interconnector has re-enetered the domain of mythology once again? The CIE unions really might have destroyed the Interconnector this time and Shorthall by specfically mentioning it now, has got wind it's been shelved and is trying to keep this CIE flagship project alive?
Still like the 1 Euro flat bus fare idea!
