Luas overcrowding - Page 2

With the BAC buses you can see that the permitted standing loads are getting lower as the buses are getting newer. Mr smart would probably have the reason for it.

This is no excuse if you get on, it isn't crowded, it starts to crowd, and you are unable to get off.

Its proving what you've been saying from Day 1, that it would need to be lengthened. I doubt that the RPA have apologised or stated that "yes, we were wrong".

While Dubliners are enthusiastic about Luas and DART, sadly, many do not realise that its nothing special compared to other modern cities throughout the world. The attitude after the "overground vs underground" option in the 1990's is that "Its better than nothing", simply because we waited such a long time for it. I'll go back to an old quote.

"Luas is better than nothing, but it should have been a DART".
