As for BE, I don't really think they are duplicating that much, aside from the big points on a route they are not and given the pricing difference there will always be a market for a bus along at rain corridor.

BE problems go much deeper to the route of the problems.

Actually I use a shuttlebus to and from Hazelhatch station. I would not be bothered driving - it saves me a fortune in petrol and carparking charges. I also arrived relaxed for work in the mornings, rather than frazzeled if I drove to work, or arrived in an over crowded bus.

It works there but I don't see it working across the board. Train/bus passengers are very different people.

Anyway didn't you give up getting the train or have they tempted you to stay...

Are these maps going to be displayed on trains, trams and at stations?

The current IE maps on Dublin services and at stations are awful and seem to be designed in a dimension to fit the advertising poster frames on trains. Surely these maps could be printed and put on the walls within carriages or on the glass panels that separate the standing and seating areas on Dart and Commuter trains

Also, someone mentioned the design guidelines that TFI have published for provision of public transport information. When are we going to see some of this actually displayed at stations? The lack of consistency in information across the Greater Dublin transport system is ridiculous

The Dublin Train and Tram map appears to show quite a distance between Tara Street Station and the Abbey Street and Trinity Luas stops. These are walkable connections and perhaps could be shown on the map if Tara Street was better positioned.

I had to make my mind up - whether I got 67X straight to the office door (very over crowded) or stay on the train and have my 20min walk to the office each morning (40mins) each day - I chose the healthier option.
