BUS commuters in the greater Dublin area are reaching their destinations up to 42pc faster than those making the same journey by car, an official report has revealed.
The report, based on monitoring of the city's Quality Bus Corridors (QBC), has found that due to gridlock, buses are outperforming cars on seven on the city's nine routes.
There is also an increase in the number of commuters leaving their cars at home, according to the survey by the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO).
Commuters travelling into the city on the Finglas QBC during the morning rush hour are benefiting most.
The average bus journey on the route takes 11 minutes 46 seconds, compared to 20 minutes 20 seconds by car, resulting in a 42pc time saving.
Well, that's certainly good for the proponents of BRT (aka "Bus Rapid Transit", which the QBCs are actually a form of). For those that do not know, politicians in many developed countries are touting BRT as a "lower-cost" alternative to LRT, which is not necessarily true. Either way, it's darn good to see the QBCs starting to trounce the ridiculous road traffic insofar as efficient commuting...only took them how long, 12 years to hit the papers since the QBC concept was first introduced??
