@businessposthq What a lie, gas lighting of the worst kind, there is nothing ambitious about this, only the pockets of those who will scam money out of gullible investors and the state!

@DaraghCassidy @cormacDublin @jamesswrblx Who in Swords or Hospital visitor is going to want to get a bus to an inconveniently located Metro station or good walk from major shopping/ population centers, When they will have access to Autonomous SharedMobility RoboTaxi services that will offer direct door-to-door services?

I still don’t think I’ll believe Metro is actually happening until I see the tunnel borer break that first piece of ground. The project is going to transform Dublin. And almost everyone in the country will probably get some benefit from it at some stage.

🚇A major milestone for MetroLink today. The tender issued for trains, tracks and stations. A 25-year contract, with works starting this August/September. Fully funded by Government and we’re committed to delivering it

There will be two stages to road transformation. In the first stage, all vehicles will become electric and autonomous. This will reduce accidents, noise, and pollution. We are already starting this transition, and it will be complete by 2035. In the second stage, tunnels will be built to allow autonomous electric traffic to operate underground. This will further improve safety, eliminate noise, decrease travel times, and free the surface for other uses. The construction of these tunnels will be enabled by the low-cost labor of humanoid robots and automated construction equipment. Construction of tunnels will begin in a few years, with significant progress by 2035. Surface streets will become areas for sitting and dining outdoors, with trees, gardens, fountains, and pools to fit our new leisure lifestyle.

@DublinLoop How will it be primitive? Self-driving cars aren’t going to solve our woeful traffic problem as the cause of the traffic is the cars themselves.

@DaraghCassidy Yes they will, poor human driving and uncoordinated traffic management is responsible for most of our soul destroying traffic in Dublin

@DarraghOBrienTD It will make the Children's Hospital look like a bargain and will be woefully primitive transport in the late 2030s/2040s

If only we could start planning for this now and not away be playing catch-up what the world of transport will be in the 2030s to help us reclaim our urban realm.

Tunnel Vision Challenge results! We've been overwhelmed with the amazing submissions…so we are announcing three winners! The Thrilling Three are: - NOLA Loop (New Orleans, LA) - Ravens Loop (Baltimore, MD) - University Hills Loop (Dallas, TX) What happens next? TBC and the project stakeholders enter into a rigorous diligence process which includes: - Meetings with elected officials, regulators, community leaders, and business leaders - Geotechnical borings - Utility and subsurface infra investigation Once the diligence (100% funded by TBC) is complete, if all 3 projects are feasible, will fund/build all 3 - this would be awesome. If only 1 is feasible, will fund/build 1. IN ADDITION, there were multiple other projects that TBC thought were so compelling that we are going to continue to work with the entrants and try to get them built. This includes the following two: - Hendersonville Utility Tunnel (Hendersonville, TN) - Morgan's Wonderland Tunnel (San Antonio, TX) Thanks again to all of the participants - your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team.

Announcing the Tunnel Vision Challenge! Pitch us your best 1-mile tunnel idea (Loop, freight, pedestrian, utility, etc.), we'll pick a winner, and build it…for free! Details: boringcompany.com/tunnelvision Criteria: -Usefulness (good bang for the bore) -Stakeholder Engagement (get hyped) -Technical, Economic, and Regulatory Feasibility (success is physically possible) Prufrock was designed to build mega-infrastructure projects in a matter of weeks instead of years - so let’s build!

Minsiter Darragh O’Brien said traffic congestion in Dublin has been the “most significant factor” in recent months and “punctuality is being affected by rising traffic volumes in the city in particular” irishtimes.com/transport/2026…

@IrishTimes The bus-centric policy for transport in Dublin is an utter failure. Too much time and attention is being wasted on tinkering with bus services when they’re never going to be sufficient. The focus needs to be on rail. A major expansion of rail must be delivered urgently.

Who is responsible for signing off on planning for thousands of apartments alongside roads completely unsuited to the ensuing traffic congestion? Dublin is grinding to a standstill as people face long delays, unending queues & frustration at poor planning throughout the city. 😡
