    Um den öffentlichen Nahverkehr zu verbessern, wurde vorgeschlagen, einige zu nahe beieinander liegende Bushaltestellen zu entfernen. Wenn ich mir das hier ansehe, stimme ich voll und ganz zu.


    Zeig mir dein Beispiel? Kennen Sie einen Ort, an dem die Entfernung noch geringer ist?
    Dieses Beispiel befindet sich in Swords, wo drei Bushaltestellen sehr nahe beieinander liegen und 200 Meter zwischen den einzelnen Haltestellen liegen.

      The C4 at Palmerstown on the way west. 3 within a few yards of each other.

      I dunno, I’ve lived in high density cities with lots and lots of stops and they were fine. Especially, during bad weather it was nice to have a stop so close. 

      Where i live now (rural), I use the bus more frequently because I have a stop close by.

      In your example I’m not familiar with the area but maybe? I certainly wouldn’t like a blanket decision made to remove every second stop.

      Trying to get them removed is the massive issue. Councillors bread and butter is

      „Theres an aul one in that estate, who needs the bus stop for hospital appointments“

      Not a hope of it changing

      One that sticks to me are the two bus stops on the 11 route in Ranelagh which are 130m apart, literally around a corner from each other.

    6. nerdling007 on

      Close together bus stops are for hop-on hop-off which is very common in cities with well done public transport. If anything, we need more stops in better situated locations to offer people the best access.

      The only people I ever see making the argument that there are too many stops and stops are too close together, are drivers annoyed by buses they think are in their way.

      The E1 route coming in to Bray from the Woodbrook roundabout to the Castle Street bridge has 4 stops in the space of 650 (ish) meters

    9. Kenno90 on

      If you can see the next bus stop from the current one. It’s too close (with a few exceptions obviously)

    11. bangladeshespresso on

      There are plenty examples of those across Dublin, which slows down buses drastically.

      Before someone tells me like before, they are not supposed to be fast, they sure ain’t supposed to be slow as fuck either

      I get the 37 into town every week from the Clonsilla area. There’s definitely some that feel way too close together around Carpenterstown and Laurel Lodge

      Everyone’s posting examples here but you should also check which buses and routes actually stop in these stops. Sometimes, different bus stops are for different routes.

      Totally agree in some cases, but just want to remind us all that to the disabled, removal of those stops can be a real life-changer.

    15. Gazza_s_89 on

      Passages should be assembling themselves at stops on their own time , not on the systems.

      Keep the spacing 400m minimum.

    16. _Cactusbagel_ on

      I definitely get the thinking behind it and would love to see our public transport system get a re haul in general, but it’s also important to remember that the removal of stops could seriously impact the disabled community and the elderly community. There has to be a better solution

    17. Comfortable-Yam9013 on

      Most buses refuse to stop at the second one, unless that’s changed recently. They’d keep driving to pavillions

    18. PixelNotPolygon on

      It would be rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic to suggest that this would improve public transport in Dublin

    19. gd19841 on

      The example in OP isn’t very good, as multiple different routes could be using those stops going different directions. Eg. The first one on Swords Road (Pavillions) could be used by buses going striaght through or to the right at the roundabout up ahead. On a similar note, buses coming from those roads (which are out of shot to the right) could be using the second bus stop and going up towards the roundabout at McCabes pharmacy and taking a left.

      There’s plenty of examples where there’s two stops for the same route, on a straight road, within 200m of each other.

    20. StaffordQueer on

      Clontarf Road is great example. Bus stops every 200m, insanely inefficient.

    21. C0smicdread on

      I often get buses for 1-2 stops / to travel very short distances because I have mobility impairments, I know it’s frustrating but it is extremely helpful to have more stops if you’re disabled.

    22. spincyslom on

      I remember hearing about Dublin Bus getting some consultants in to find ways to improve the service and this was one of their major recommendations. Other European cities do not have bus stops so close to allow for a faster bus service. It was opposed by local politicians at the behest of the public as people though it would effect the elderly and disabled. However evidence from other cities indicate that is not the case.

    25. Rameez_Raja on

      There’s so many of these in the Terenure/Rathgar area. There’s been quite a few occasions where I just missed a bus only to beat it to the next stop at walking pace.
