banning taxies from college green .
« on: February 19, 2018, 08:56:10 am »
Green Councillor and Chair of the City Council's Transport Committee, Ciarán Cuffe, said banning taxis could be part of the solution to the congestion at College Green.
"We have to make sure that Dublin doesn't grind to a halt and that includes taxis. If we think that taxis are part of the congestion in College Green we may have to look at perhaps taking them out during peak hours. PEAK HOURS now where did I hear that before ?I wonder will there be an exemption for WATs ?

Makes sense... apart from the WAT exemption. Why on earth would they exempt vans that cause more pollution and take longer to load/unload? You're fucking nuts, erm.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

They should make the Rosie Hackett bridge more taxi-friendly.  Takes an age for the lights to change.

That might take away a lot of traffic heading towards Pearse St/RDS/Ballsbridge etc

We're only part of transport for the funds we generate through various licences/stickers, not to promote taxis as a mode of transport,sure we're rarely mentioned other than complaints made/fines issued..etc etc,we're the equivalent of shit on the sole of a shoe!!
