There are literally dozens of examples like this around the country, especially in Dublin.
Think of all the bus routes that terminate around the city centre, often in disparate locations. I know people who have to take two busses to work, but it's not the busses they dread, it's the 20 min walk across town because the termini are so far apart.
Luas has been up and running for well over a year, but we still don't have proper integration between the two lines. There ought to be a connecting bus service between the red and green lines, and for that matter between the Green line and other train services.
We ought to have a bus/rail interchange at Drumcondra.
There are dozens of other examples.
