Its time to take building houses seriously by taking a page out of one of the most success Metro projects in the world, the Hong Kong MRT. Essentially a property development scheme with an associated metro development to generate major housing development #housingcrisis #ireland

Its 100 years of failure to provide basic infrastructure. We believe with our proposal through a Private Public Partnership, we can deliver this project by 2032, through the Melis Method (Melis, the man who transformed the Madrid Metro) metrodublin.net

Beneath Dublin Airport lies a secret. You may have walked through it. You may have checked in your bags there. But it was never meant for passengers. It was meant for trains. 🚇 This is the 100 year story of how Dublin never got a metro:

Could we do the same in Dublin? @ProgressIreland @Dept_Transport @infoMetroDublin @DubCityCouncil x.com/WorksInProgMag…

Works in Progress@WorksInProgMag

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population. Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

1 of the biggest issues for transport in Dublin, is the lack of true integration between bus and rail stations The majority of Dublin's major bus routes are designed to avoid the main rail stations in the city centre, making most of the inter modal changes much less convenient

@mytrainislate1 @thepainterflynn @TFIupdates Thats ridiculous. I didnt realise it was going on that long. Especially when you look at the revamp given to Cork, Limerick and Galway, yet the busiest station in the country is left to rot

@infoMetroDublin @thepainterflynn Customers first started looking for basic repairs and an upgrade in 2010. Any chance @TFIupdates you could finally prioritise this? It’s an embarrassment for an international transport hub.

@IrishRail can Connolly Station get a similar treatment? Its night time 24/7 in there with how filthy the roof is

Ireland is one of the only countries in Europe WITHOUT a metro and is happy to waste money on endless plans 100,000km of rail has been built across Europe in the last 100 years, but none of that was here Crazy no one running for #GE24 is interested in Metro Dublin Project 2032

And Ireland decides to tear up its rail network and then wastes millions on plans for a single metro line! Its time for the private sector to fill that gap

Euro transit & urbanism@euro_projects

🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇺🚄 30 years ago, the Channel Tunnel opened, finally connecting the British and French (and therefore mainland Europe) high-speed rail networks. ➡️ 50.5 km ➡️ 38.8 km undersea section (the longest in the world) ➡️ 6 years of construction

Metro Dublin@infoMetroDublin·14 Kas

What Ireland is NOT doing but SHOULD be doing. Twickenham station, London is the PERFECT example of how mixed used development as part of rail station should be done Now imagine how many apartments, shops, community facilities we could have if Irish Rail stations were like this

@MaryLouMcDonald Government wasting swaths of money on bike sheds, a security shelter and curtains while Dublin is crying out for a transformative project like this but are they are happy to ignore it though....

English

Mary Lou McDonald@MaryLouMcDonald·13 Kas

You couldn’t make this up. Are these magic curtains?! €70,000! Add it to the most expensive bicycle shed in the world, the €1.4 million hut, and the €9 million phone pouches. It’s curtains for Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil! Vote to change the government! #TonightVMTV

To our friends in Belfast and Cork If there was direct rail service between these 2 cities via Dublin Airport, would it be of benefit to you?

HOUSING, HOUSING, HOUSING Thats all we hear and politicians say that they plan to fix it, BUT the REAL REASON behind the lack of houses being built needs to be addressed Many housing developments get refused planning due to lack of transit infrastructure #ireland #HousingCrisis
