Dublin Commuter Coalition has said it strongly recommends “a big bang introduction” of the BusConnects network redesign rather than it being implemented in stages. Dublin Commuter Coalition, which began as a Facebook group last January, advocates for public transport users, cyclists and pedestrians in the greater Dublin area. The NTA said the phased approach was to ensure “a manageable level of change for customers and bus operators”. However, Dublin Commuter Coalition said a phased implementation would mean Dubliners having to “not relearn one network once, but relearn several networks, several times over a period of three years”. The Dublin Commuter Coalition said it is in favour of the project to “vastly improve the bus network in Dublin and the allocation of widespread cycling infrastructure throughout the city”.
