DART closure shunts us on a line to nowhere

HAVE you ever heard the expression “only in America”? Well, the latest proposal to close the DART every weekend for the next 18 months or so can safely fall into the category “only in Ireland, or some other backward/incompetently-run state”.

Thu, 09 Oct, 2003 - 01:00

Closing Saturday and Sunday equates to a removal of 28.5% of the services. I suspect the proposal is also to remove services earlier on a Friday night, so we may be looking at a 30% or more reduction in services altogether.

Will this be accompanied by a 30% reduction in the price of weekly, monthly and annual tickets during this period? Will a 30% refund be issued for weekly, monthly and annual tickets already purchased?
