Suggestions to curb car journeys include a €10 congestion charge in cities, halving public transport fares and fuel price increases
“I can also cycle around my neighbourhood safely, and it is reasonable safe to cycle into the city centre but not around Limerick generally which is really quite dangerous. I usually take the bus in and out of town. There are some delays in the service, but I find I can live with them and the buses would be far more reliable if there were less cars on the road.
“Unfortunately, the sometimes hostile nature of cycling in Dublin, particularly in rush-hour traffic, is a big deterrent for a lot of people. However, others have expressed their concerns for how new measures may make driving more difficult, particularly for those with a disability. “The city [Dublin] is a disaster in regards to accessibility. I have poor mobility so buses are not an option. I can’t afford taxis so consequently Dublin is not an option for me.
“You can go with a bus to a hospital appointment but for sure you will miss the last bus home. Reduced speed limits is okay, but a higher fuel price is not fair on the rural people. What is okay for the city folks isn’t okay for the people living rural.”
