breakingnews.ieDublin metro system to run via Ballymun and Phibsboro
19/10/2006 - 12:09:59
Minister for Transport Martin Cullen has announced the route chosen for the proposed metro line linking Dublin Airport with the city centre.
Three alternatives had been put forward as part of a public consultation process.
The chosen one will see the metro system run from Swords through Dublin Airport, via Ballymun and Phibsboro and on to St Stephen's Green.
Mr Cullen says the route will service 20,000 people every hour, with trains running every 90 seconds.
The total journey time will be 17 minutes.
The metro is expected to take around 40,000 cars off the streets of the city centre every day when it is operational in 2012.
