NTA Launch Rapid Transit Bus Scheme Consultation
A public consultation has been launched over a proposed rapid transport system for Dublin.
The National Transport Authority have introduced the consultation for 'Swiftway', a rapid transit scheme, described as the "Luas on rubber wheels", that promises to "slash journey times".
The Authority has conducted feasibility studies and has identified three “emerging preferred routes”, which are:
• Blanchardstown to UCD
• Swords and Dublin Airport to Dublin city centre
• Clongriffin to Tallaght.
The consultation introduces the concept of BRT to the public for the first time, and shows people what it will look like, and how it will work.
Once the submissions have been received and analysed the authority will produce detailed route proposals and street plans for a second consultation in a few months’ time.
