1.4 What are the benefits of this project? Journey Time Savings
ĤĤ Journey Time Savings – The core bus corridor project will
deliver journey time savings of up to 40-50% on each corridor.
Dedicated bus lanes can significantly increase bus travel speeds
and reliability. Improved journey times and reducing the amount of
time people spend commuting will make bus travel more attractive
and reduce our reliance on car travel. The more convenient the bus
system is, the faster the modal shift will be for people from the car
Current Journey Times
to the bus. Not only will current bus users and cyclists benefit but
future commuters will be able to avail of a better system as the
improved bus and cycle lanes are built.
up to 40-50%
ĤĤ Accessibility for all – Accessibility is about people’s ability journey time savings
to reach the destinations and services they want to get to. This
means both people's level of mobility and the costs of travelling.
There are many tens of thousands of people across Dublin who
cannot drive a car, do not have a car and are completely reliant
on the bus service. The bus lane improvements will enhance
accessibility for the elderly and mobility impaired because all
buses are accessible and bus stops, bus shelters and footpaths will
support easy boarding and disembarking of the buses.
BusConnects Future Journey Times
ĤĤ Better cycling facilities – This project will see the provision of Journey Times without BusConnects
much needed cycling facilities around the city region. Across the
16 radial bus corridors there will be over 200kms of high quality
cycling facilities provided. These new or improved cycle lanes will
be segregated from bus lanes and general traffic where feasible.

16: Ringsend > City Centre
SECTION 1
ĤĤ Pedestrians and Local Urban Centres – In addition to bus
lanes and cycling facilities this project is an opportunity to enhance
and improve local areas. This project is focused on making things
better for commuters and communities around the bus corridors.
Along each route, improvements and enhancements will be made
to footpaths, walkways and pedestrian crossings. Funding and
investment for local urban centres with additional landscaping and
outdoor amenities will be provided.
ĤĤ Building a sustainable city and addressing climate
change – By providing a better bus system for Dublin we can
make it a more attractive place to live, work and visit. A good
public transport system is vital to support the economic activity of
any city and can also address the need to improve air quality and
reduce CO2 emissions. Tackling the challenges of climate change is
a priority for the Government and moving more people to public
transport is a key component of the solution.BusConnects Core Bus Corridors

The layout below shows the arrangement that we are seeking to
achieve on each corridor. However, this optimal layout is difficult to
achieve in practice and we have proposed alternative solutions in
various places to deliver the required bus and cycling lanes.

Not all the impacts will be felt equally and some locations will require
more changes than others. Over the years those modifications that 3.2.3 Reduction of On-Street Parking and Loading

- have been made. This means that there are no longer any simple
changes which we can make that would generate meaningful benefits. Because the roads that need widening travel through residential and
business areas there will be a need to reduce the amount of on-street
parking and loading facilities to accommodate the new layout.BusConnects Core Bus Corridors

16: Ringsend > City Centre
3.3.3 On street parking and Loading Facilities
Where there is a loss of on-street parking and loading facilities we will
seek to provide, where feasible, alternative arrangements close by for
residents and businesses.
3.3.4 Trees
Where trees are removed from roadsides and footpaths we will put
SECTION 3
in place a comprehensive replanting programme. This programme
will use mature or semi-mature ready-grown trees where appropriate
and, where it is feasible, plant them as close as possible to the original
locations.
3.3.5 Urban Centre Improvements
We will look for areas along the busy corridors where it is possible to
improve the existing local spaces and the existing landscaping. It is
important to use this opportunity to not only replace what is removed
but to enhance the local areas. To do so, we will consult with the local
authorities on such urban centre improvements and collectively seek
to create attractive local environments.
3.3.6 Road Works and Construction Sites
During the construction stages the construction sites will be localised
and managed on a road by road basis. The size of each work site
and the hours of working will have to take into consideration the
residential nature of many of the roads. Traffic management will be
very important to keep the traffic moving and ensuring local access
for people and deliveries is always maintained.BusConnects Core Bus Corridors
