Things are gonna be rough for the public transport passenger for a number of years yet, even post T21 there will be dead spots needing more Luas and metro. The airport spur might someday come back too, if the line can be 4 tracked to beyond Howth Junction. I'm glad I live on the northside though, the older parts of the southside are gonna have to wait some time yet. Post T21 it would still be quite unfair to charge many in the likes of Kimmage for congestion charging, which is a shame. It should be the goal to be able to charge cars out of town.

What we need post T-21 is another 2 + Metro Lines. I think we probably need a outer orbital metro line and something that serves the port area ( for the port project). Still there will lots of area with no access to decent public infastructure.
