Not the fault of the Luas as a transport concept. This is the fault of all the QUANGOS, semi-states, public bodies (including ther RPA), trade union fighting for the own selfish piece of the pie and all of them using YOU the public transport user as the pawn. Please do not confuse the shortcommings of the highly successful public transport solution which is Luas with the 60 odd of war against integrated public transport which CIE began in the 1930's.
Once again, people seem to blame the Irish cultural war against the public transport users on the RPA and the Luas. Colmd, this tickenting situation was forced on the RPA by powerful poltical interests in the same way the The Gap between the Red and Green line was. It was not the fault of the Luas, nor the RPA.

Again none of your issues with Luas is the fault of Luas. Try buying a DART ticket on a Dublin Bus or a BE services. It's the same thing and that were you should be directing your anger because IE/BE and BaC are all within CIE. How can you attack the Luas for not being perfectly integrated when CIE have made lack of integration and crazy ticketing into an artform.

The Luas is integrated with Connolly by any international yardstick for integration between public two transport modes. It is not an unacceptable distance. That's the reality of the matter.
