Very good pictures there, but it does not really prove there is no demand for public transport on Christmas day, all day. Tens of thousands of Dubliners are on the move all during the day and all over the city visiting relatives after the kids have opened the christmas presents. The roads are fairly busy at certian times and it public transport was there people would use it. Right now these Christmas day housecallers all drive.
So do National Toll Rolls close the Westlink down because of "no demand"?
One moment in time in the city centre is not indicative of the entire Christmas day all over the city of Dublin and it's suburbs. There is vast movements of people in the suburbs.
There are also lots of people living in the city of Dublin now who are not Christians. 80,000 Chinese for start.
CIE's 1970's timewarp mentality again?
