Wed 04 Apr 2009Traffic surge despite extra buses, Luas
MORE THAN 3,000 extra cars are now driven into Dublin city during the daily morning rush hour period than four years ago, despite an increase in buses and the introduction of Luas.
New figures, to be put before Dublin City Council’s traffic committee tomorrow, show an 11 per cent decrease in cars entering the city each morning over the last 10 years. However since a low of 60,600 cars making the morning 7am-10am commute in 2005, the amount of car traffic has increased annually to 63,976 last year.
