Taxis out of Bus Lanes

[Rat Catcher]

That makes no sense really,there could be someone a little bit down the road with filthy cash in one hand and the other one just waiting to flag down an empty...which there wouldn't be...in a bus lane,and with thousands if not millions of people waiting in the city centre for that elusive empty that's sitting in traffic on any street or road with a bus lane and stuck in shite traffic!!

Arguably, it may encourage drivers of vacant vehicles to drive towards the higher volumes of work i.e. against the heavier traffic flows and/or encourage greater efficiency in occupation rates by encouraging drivers to seek out / accept work within geographical areas and/or from dispatch services they might otherwise ignore.

Moreover, notwithstanding supply constraints, freeing up bus lanes for buses ought to encourage greater utilisation of those services which may help reduce demand for taxis thereby tackling the current perceived shortage without adding any more cars to the fleet.

The same Greens that pushed for Capel St to be closed!!

How do these fuktards get to where they are....the mind boggles!! 

The same Greens who are giving us up to €25,000 to upgrade our cars.  Yeah... fuck them, they can shove their bleedin' money up their compost heaps.

As far as the grants go....we deserve nothing less...closing streets and pushing traffic to already heavily congested streets is madness.

There's method in the madness, though. Getting folk to use more sustainable transport options requires some use of the stick as well as the carrot. Of course, providing the sustainable alternatives - rickshaws, electric bicycles/scooters, more trains/buses/trams/taxis/hackneys, etc - is another prerequisite.

If they have of(sic) waited till this year to do their pedestrianisation survey and not last year when there was fukall traffic on the streets then maybe a different outcome.
