All inter-urban busroutes become faster; anddata suggest a 24% fall in carmode share for such AM peaktrips that would be stronglyaffected by the road usecharge.Accessibility (also a criterion in the CAF-basedtransport appraisal) will be greatly improved throughthe provision of new public transport corridorsto Dublin city centre and Designated Towns andDistricts, giving greater access to jobs and retail ate.g. Swords, Dundrum and O’Connell Street/HenryStreet (from the cross-city Metro and Luas BXD); andto education, through Maynooth line electrification,Grangegorman Luas (DIT) and new routes to DCU(Metro North), Trinity College (Lucan Luas) andbuses to UCD. Access to the centres of HinterlandDesignated Towns will be improved by providing newlocal bus networks, while access to Dublin city centrefrom these towns will be improved by a combinationof improved bus and rail services.Generally the Strategy reduces car access timesas well as public transport access times, comparedto the Do Minimum and therefore performs wellagainst all the society / community sub-objectives,with the caveat that the road user charge willimpact upon general motoring access, and will notbenefit disadvantaged areas. If these areas gainsufficiently from local walking and cycling accessimprovements, and better bus and Luas services(with lower off-peak fares), this will more thanoffset the charging impact. Such improvementswould particularly benefit those who do nothave access to a car. Improvements to physicalaccessibility and more public transport will alsobenefit people with disabilities.Access between communities and to widerdestinations in Ireland will be easier due to thereductions in traffic on the roads, especially inpeak travel periods. By 2030, it can be expectedthat a large proportion of those who transfer topublic transport for their daily commuting willcease to own a car altogether, leading to less caruse for all journey purposes (although this is notassumed in the appraisal). Additional rail track,to separate stopping metropolitan electric train(DART) services from faster longer distance trainservices, will enable improvements to Intercityrail speeds and service frequencies; while accessto rail for many communities in the Metropolitanarea will be improved by new Luas and Metro linksto the city centre.Chapter 12: page 6 www.2030vision.ie
Figure 12.1: Public transport journey times to Dublin city centre 2030 with Strategy in place (morning peak travel period)In comparison with the Do Minimum situationillustrated in Figure 5.3, the diagram above showsan improvement in journey times to Dublincity centre from areas served by the new rail,Metro and Luas lines – most notably, along theGreen line extension to Bray, Metro North toSwords and the Metro West corridor betweenTallaght and Blanchardstown (connected to theinterchange with city centre via Kildare line/DARTUnderground).There are also significant benefits of local accessimprovements to other centres (not shown inFigure 12.1). These include, for example, LiffeyValley and Clonburris.The Lucan Luas line also improves access alongthe M4 corridor. Other areas also benefitfrom improved access to the city centre – forexample areas west of Blanchardstown, due tothe improved rail services in this area. There arealso some small and more local improvementsarising from bus measures, such as the outwardextensions of the Naas Road and Malahide RoadQuality Bus Corridors.Chapter 12: page 7 www.2030vision.ie
