Metro to remove 41,000 cars from Dublin

The new Metro will remove 41,000 cars a day from Dublin's streets
with a journey time from the City Centre to the Airport of 17
minutes, according to Transport minister Martin Cullen at the
launch of Metro North Public Consultation meeting today

Metro North, which is estimated to carry at least 80,000
passengers a day, will also integrate with Luas, Bus, Park & Ride
at Swords and Ballymun, cycling, taxi and rail services, the
Minister said

It will also integrate with other services in the city -
connecting with Metro West, the Maynooth rail line, the Tallaght
and Sandyford Luas lines and DART via the Interconnector at St.
Stephens Green

Minister Cullen also announced that the Dublin Bus network review
allows for bus services to be re-organised so that the bus
complements and feeds into Metro, thus extending the advantages to
other communities

The preparation work for the Metro will begin in the next few weeks
