Luas takes up a lot of space, the difference being that money was available to change the layout and
make space. Saying that bendy buses are "no good for Heuston" seems a bit harsh to me, but I'm the first to admit that I'm not an expert in the area.

The boarding issue is down the fact the majority of passengers still elect to pay cash despite the fact every single passenger inbound to Heuston had the option to get the 90/Luas included, it is advertised.

If you build it, they will come. Translation: add a few ticket inspectors and create open access and commuters will get the idea, particularly on a dedicated commuter route such as the 90. Proof = Luas, me thinks?
