#Transport for #Ireland: Public consultation on planned enhancement of Bus Route 187 Kells to Virginia Consultation closes at 4pm on Monday 15th April 2024. transportforireland.ie/news/public-co…

I’m selling my mum’s Nissan 2014 Leaf 24kWh, she has bought a new EV. 12/12 battery bars. I really don't want to do DoneDeal so will let it go for €7k, which is much cheaper than any Leaf I can find online with 12/12 battery bars. Car is in Nenagh. More: thomas.bibby.ie/for-sale-2014-…

@ApartmentList Thanks so much!

@thomasbibby Hi Thomas! I'm sorry you had to deal with this. I was able to go in and unsubscribe the account using your name. Please feel free to send us a DM if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you!

Do you have plans to purchase a home? 🏡 In 2022, Millennials reached a milestone with more than 50% of the generation owning homes. The highest rates of ownership are found in smaller markets like Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati.

New all-electric Local Link route 438 starts Monday 22 May, connecting villages north of Galway to Galway City, Headford and Tuam with 3 buses/day, 7 days/week, bringing a number of villages who were not previously served by regular public transport on to the network.

Nice to see printed timetables in Limerick station for the expanded @Buseireann Scariff and Mitchelstown services introduced under the Connecting Ireland programme.

@brndnbnnr Interesting, the Netherlands was specifically cited as an inspiration for the proposed model in Ireland and it’ll be interesting to see what fare/km they finally land on. I think the NL rail network, with relatively low line speeds but high frequency, is a useful model for IE

National Fares Strategy summary published last week: rail/bus fares outside Dublin will be based on a flat charge and a charge based on km as the crow flies. I built a calculator where you can vary both charges and see the impact on intercity rail fares: thomas.bibby.ie/a-rail-fares-c…

With thanks to the @RailUsersIe fares calculator which made the task a lot easier!

A new one-way, two-lane traffic layout with no cycle facilities or wider footpaths is proposed for the centre of Nenagh which could increase traffic levels through the town. Deadline for submissions is Weds 4:30pm, here’s mine: thomas.bibby.ie/submission-on-…

A CYCLe Optimised Protected Signals (CYCLOPS) junction recently installed in Manchester, UK.

Three examples of “priority narrowing” or a “single lane working chicane” in a residential area in Hull, UK. The first two have associated uncontrolled pedestrian crossing points, the first in the middle (in front of a primary school) and the second in front of the chicane.

Some stats for last year from the Connecting Ireland rural transport programme. The 2022 report was released today (PDF): nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/upl…

@UrbnWarfareDuck @Dept_Transport @EamonRyan @merrionstreet @DeptRCD @TFIupdates It’s the former: vehicle not passenger kms. See the executive summary of the report.

@Dept_Transport @EamonRyan @merrionstreet @DeptRCD @TFIupdates "weekly kilometres" is not a valid metric. Do you mean "weekly bus kilometres" or "weekly passenger kilometres"?

🚐 The Connecting Ireland Phase 1 Review was published this week Phase 1 of the implementation of this initiative has shown success. A total of 760,534 passenger journeys were recorded on Connecting Ireland routes in 2022 Today, we look back at some key statistics 1/4

From next month the 101 bus, which serves Drogheda, Balbriggan and Dublin every hour, will switch to a 24 hour service with buses every 20-30 mins during the day and hourly through the night. nationaltransport.ie/news/enhanced-…

From next month there will be twice as many buses every day on the 133 Wicklow-Dublin route, with frequencies increasing from every hour to every 30 mins. nationaltransport.ie/news/enhanced-…

@p_michaelsen @_shanetimmons @ESRIDublin @_psylva Thank you! I did try and search before I posted but couldn’t find the handles of any of the other authors

@thomasbibby @_shanetimmons @ESRIDublin Second author is on twitter as well! @_psylva

This is a fascinating paper by @_shanetimmons and others at @ESRIDublin: of interest to anyone planning, implementing or campaigning for safer, healthier, cleaner and more inclusive roads and streets. PDF: esri.ie/system/files/p…

@BohUallachain @TipperaryCoCo @BrianLeddin Hi Brían, I live round the corner from the scheme, which seems to be focused on increasing car traffic flow: it’s not clear how it is compatible with the new Tipp development plan & its 10% modal share target for cycling. I’m hoping to put in a submission, happy to collaborate.

@TipperaryCoCo Query to yourself @BrianLeddin since you’re only over the road - is active travel not supposed to be included these days ? Trying to get a nice submission going to guide Nenagh, TippCoCo.

@sarsfieldsride @davidtobin100 @Highnellybikes @BromptonBicycle Well you’re more than welcome to take it for a while anyway. To counter my previous points: most people I know with 3 speeds are happy with their choice, the 6 speed does add weight, enough that you can feel it when you pick it up. Also: get the rack (for rolling, not carrying)
