I've noticed the Luas on the streets a Dublin a few times recently. I'm a little worried.
It's tiny. Originally I couldn't understand why they didn't just build QBC's along the proposed routes, and a few more routes besides, and throw a hundred new busses at it. Surely that would have gotten as much volume as Luas, and it would have been cheaper and more flexible (Busses can be diverted, can drive around accidents, holes, roadworks etc).
I assumed there was a really good reason, but given the cost of building Luas, and the disruption, and now the relatively small size of the vehicle. I'm worried that there wasn't a good reason all along.
So, speak up if you know.
Why didn't they just use QBC's and LOADS of busses. This isn't the wisdom of hindsight people were asking this before Luas started.
Any ideas?
