“It’s all just to make room for cyclists”: Locals blast removal of bus stops on new cycleway route “It’s not fair that the elderly must walk much further to a bus stop,” said one resident cycling
A Dublin resident has blasted the council’s decision to remove several bus stops along a new cycle route into the city centre, which she says has made it difficult for her elderly neighbours to access public transport.
“Design guidelines suggest benefits such as increased bus reliability, reduced bus journey times and reduced operator costs. Concentrating passengers at fewer stops improves boarding times.” “My neighbour has MS and she has lost her bus stop, it’s terrible. I can’t even tell you how upset we are. For me, I’m 63 and I carry photography gear, but I had surgery which means I can’t carry too much heavy stuff.She continued: “I don’t have some muscles after surgery, so it was already very hard with lifting. To pull the bags up the hill to the next bus stop is so tough, and it’s all just to make room for cyclists.
