Cycled 8km across Dublin this morning from Goatstown to Grangegorman & I experienced motorists running red lights and illegally blocking junctions EVERY time the opportunity arose. Busses couldn't move, cars were frozen at green lights, everyone was endangered. There's no law on the road anymore.

"As you cram onto a crowded train or get passed by a full bus in the rain this winter, remember that the government is glad to raise your fares and to use the money they promised you for service improvements on the petrol that you don't burn".
Commuter groups have described increases in public transport fares as "absolutely unacceptable", accusing the Government of asking bus, rail and tram users to "in effect" cover the "astounding cost" of an extension in cuts to Excise Duty on petrol and diesel
If you, like me, can't believe what you're reading this morning regarding hikes to public transport fares, join us to discuss this and more this evening in Wexford Town.
With announcements this morning that the NTA plans to increase public transport costs, it is even more important that your voice is heard. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026... We will be discussing this, and more, at tonight's meeting. Join us at 19:30 in Kinfolk, Eclectic Avenue in Wexford Town.
So the government cut excise on fuel to reduce fuel prices but are increasing public transport fares because of inflation. In a cost of living and climate crisis. Make it make sense.
A 6% increase in public transport use, roughly four times the population increase Record numbers using the trains in the history of the state Today's announcement about a public transport price increase is a farcical failure of policy, completely incoherent #Ireland #ClimateEmergency
Passenger Journeys Up 6% Across the TFI Network in 2025
The NTA today announced that 6% more passenger journeys were made across the TFI network in 2025 when compared to the previous year

So maintain fuel excise cuts to subsidise driving more, and raise public transport fares -- is that where we are at with transport policy atm
NTA announcing public transport fare increases tomorrow?

The Garda Commissioner has said he would 'absolutely' support an outright ban on e-scooters on Irish roads
