摘要：	'MAY YOU LIVE in interesting times', so the old proverb says, and we are indeed living in interesting times. There are a range of factors, both domestic and international, conflating to impact the transport sector in ways which I have never seen before. All of this means that there is growing debate about the future of transport in Dublin. What will Dublin Bus be like in 20 years, when today's children are in college, or trying to get their first job, or maybe thinking about starting a family? In 20 years, will today's children be travelling in bus lanes where priority is time limited? Will they endure increased congestion and traffic jams that start earlier and end later? Or will they travel on zero-emission buses, in 24-hour high priority corridors, to a city where the private car is no longer the dominant mode? The answers depend to a great extent on the decisions that we make now about public transport and its broader eco-system. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) 'Redesigning Ireland's Transport for Net Zero' report made for sobering reading. The report, published in early October 2022, finds that Ireland's existing transport habits stand in the way of the country achieving its goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51 per cent of 2018 levels by 2030, for which a 50 per cent reduction from the transport sector will be necessary.
