Shared a few thoughts w @CorkEveningEcho on public transport & learnings from other cities as Cork develops🚊🚲🚍🚶‍♂️

@itaintwhywhywhy @sarajcox Omg I’ve never seen this! 😂 I was picturing her being stalked by a load of little people trying to bite her knees, while also thinking she was mental and very inappropriate 🫣 ( she was actually lovely)

@ST_Foley @sarajcox Reminds me of this youtu.be/xRlF2RlsWzs?si…

Love this 👏🏼 So please tell me about the time you misheard something or someone misheard you? Leading to confusion, embarrassment, general toe curlage….

THEY MADE A SONG!!!🤣🤣🤣

@JimGael5 See that’s the thing - we *are* served by public transport and I’m happy to use it, but as described here, what’s supposed to be in place isn’t working. While we do share a car, there are plenty of people who do not have an alternative option.

@ST_Foley Just drive. It’s not possible to expect the state to build millions of euro of infrastructure for people to go to every possible destination. Alternatively find something along the transport route.

📖 A tale about public transport with a baby in Cork. Today I wanted to attend a baby yoga class 7 km from my house, or a 10minute drive. There’s no direct bus from Glanmire to Glounthaune, and baba is still too small for the bike, so I’ll get the 214 bus & the commuter train

@dontmindme41 245 bus goes from city to Fermoy via Glanmire and Watergrasshill but nope, nothing East so only option is connecting via city centre.

@ST_Foley Are you saying if someone wants to get from Glanmire to Glounthaune on public transfer they have to get a bus into town and then the train back down to Glounthaune and vice versa for the return trip? That's madness. Are there any buses heading east from Glanmire?

@KayM77 😵‍💫😵‍💫

@ST_Foley I need to go for a blood test... 🙄

@AracerRacer I have my eye on a Hauck trailer to use as soon as he is 6 months. It will do fine for local trips at least although I wouldn’t cycle into the city with that setup, unfortunately.

@sharonmkearney @maccraith3 Reported and blocked 🤗

@maccraith3 @ST_Foley Sarah. I suggest you ignore this illiterate Neanderthal. Then block him.

@maccraith3 Do you regularly comment on the appearance of babies?

@ST_Foley The baby looks pissed off, having to be made travel across the whole of Cork and then be made do yoga

@fionake95392153 Thoughts and prayers 🥴

@JohnnyNoCash1 Quite the contrary. I specifically chose to live in an area in cycling distance to the city, close to rail, and serviced by busses. As per schedule there’s a bus every 20 mins. Except that’s not what’s happening on the ground.

@ST_Foley You chose to live in an area with no proper public transport , so what's the problem ?

@Ralph1174434282 A yoga class where you can bring your baby. God knows our postpartum bodies need some TLC - and good for the head too.

@rorcorr We have one for the household. But relying on scheduled public transport in Ireland’s second city shouldn’t be an unreasonable expectation.

@ST_Foley 13bn oe 113bn wlof Govt money won't solve your problem. What you need is a private automobile to bring you where you want, when you want, carrying what you want.

@alloneworddotie @EoinBearla Lunging the pram across those steps certainly undid all stretches in the class!

@ST_Foley @EoinBearla you’d need more than baby yoga for that stress 🧘‍♀️

@veronm78 I hear you. We’re a 4 person family, both work in the city, and have given up trying to get it home from work as it’s so unreliable so I mostly cycle now or carpool. The 8am departure from Glanmire also seems to no longer exist
