Shane Ross on the Late Late

[Mark Hennessy]

Im turning into an old person, sitting in watching the Late Late.
Anyway, Shane Ross is on tv now talking about his solutions to the Dublin traffic problem.

To summerise:

1) Open the Toll Bridge all of the time.
2) Provide free public transport
3) Allow cars with 3 or more occupants to use the bus lanes.

While it is good to see this kind of discussion on prime time tv, there are many flaws in his ideas. For starters, I doubt the existing public transport system could cope if a large number switched from their cars and secondly, who would police the bus lanes
